The Papel picado is part of Mexican life to such an extent that it is impossible to imagine a popular fiesta without these brightly coloured flags. They are used at national and Christmas celebrations, weddings, birthdays, quinceañeras and baptisms. In some villages they are even hung in the streets all year round. The papel picado "charro" is made in the village of Huixcolotla, in the state of Puebla, by a family with more than 40 years of experience. Using tissue paper or plastic, the material is cut with chisels until the desired shape is achieved. The work is laborious and is done entirely by hand. This model depicts mariachis, animals, dancers... Each strip contains 10 banners. The colours and motifs can vary slightly from the image. 5 meters. Material: plastic.
