Delicate, colorful, and full of tradition — papel picado is one of Mexico’s most vibrant folk arts. These beautiful paper banners are more than just decorations. Each intricate design tells a story, celebrating life, death, and everything in between.

Whether fluttering over a Día de los Muertos altar, brightening up a fiesta, or hanging across streets during festivals, papel picado brings communities together with its joyful spirit and cultural pride.
