FAQs
What is papel picado?
Intricately cut tissue or plastic paper, traditionally strung as banners for Mexican celebrations — the cut pattern is meaningful, not just decorative.
What's the difference between the paper and plastic banners?
Paper is the traditional, lighter-weight tissue paper (best for indoor use or a single event); plastic is more durable and holds up better outdoors or in wind.
Will it hold up outdoors?
The plastic version is your best bet for outdoor use; paper is more delicate and works best indoors or for a one-time event. Paper flutters beautifully outdoors, but it rips more easily and can not get wet.
How is it made?
Hand-cut by artisans in Mexico using a traditional chisel-and-hammer technique — that's what gives papel picado its intricate, lacy cutouts.
How do I hang it?
String it along a doorway, porch railing, or overhead between two points — it's designed to move a little in the wind, which is part of the tradition.
Can I reuse it?
The plastic version can be reused for multiple events with care; paper is more delicate and best treated as single-use.
