PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Explore the vibrant tradition of papel picado — a Mexican decorative art form that features intricate designs cut into colorful tissue paper. Create your own festive banners using simple folding and cutting techniques, and learn how this beautiful craft is used to celebrate special moments and cultural events.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
