Papel Picado Stickers
$5.00
Papel picado is a traditional Mexican folk art with roots in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. Early cultures used bark paper (amate) in ceremonies, believing paper carried spiritual meaning. After thin paper was introduced to Mexico in the 16th century, artists began hand-cutting intricate designs. Today, papel picado is used in celebrations like fiestas, weddings, and Día de los Muertos. Its delicate paper represents the fragility of life, while the vibrant colors honor culture, community, and ancestry.
