How To Hang Papel Picado?

To hang your papel picado up; wrap the string at each end of the garland twice around a piece of strong clear sellotape, and stick to a wall/beam/tree/curtain rail/anything, or wrap around a tack nailed into a wall. Garland too long or too short for your venue? No problem! ;) You can easily make the perfect garland lengths for your venue with whatever length garlands you have bought: To make a garland longer; tie various garlands together at each end. To make a garland shorter; carefully rip off the flag at the position along the garland that you want to cut the garland down to. Cut the string down to the desired length. Now you can start a new garland with the excess you cut off, by tying it to the end of the next garland.

How Much Papel Picado To Order?

The more papel picado you hang, the more amazing your party will look! We recommend hanging them in rows, with gaps of 1m/3ft between each row. 1) Measure all the lengths of the different walls/beams where you'd like the papel picado to hang. 2) Add all these lengths together to get your Total Length 3) For a draping affect - add an extra 10%-15% onto the total (depending on how low you want them to hang). Multiply the total by 1.1 for the total plus 10%, or multiply the total by 1.15 for the total plus 15%. 4) If you're not sure how much to order, message me with the dimensions of the venue and some photos and I'll reply with a quote: aprylle@artmexico.co.uk Read more here: www.artmexico.co.uk/pages/how-much-papel-picado-to-order

Large beaded jaguar sculpture Mexican Huichol beaded figure special Christmas gift for lovers of colourful art, handmade in Mexico by the Wixarika community.

Huichol beaded figures are incredibly intricate, deeply spiritual and fantastically colourful and vibrant pieces of art. The sculptures are firstly handmade either from wood or thick papier-mâché, then covered in either wax or resin. Then vividly colourful beads are pressed into the wax individually, in a variety of patterns and shapes and symbols. Each symbol in the design has a significance and symbolism attached to them according to Wixarika culture.

Beaded Jaguar Figure Dimensions:
35cm x 10cm x 15cm / 14" x 3.9" x 4.9"

FREE FedEx delivery to USA / UK included in the price listed. Delivery within 1 week.

The Wixarika, or Huichol as they are more widely known, are native Mexicans who live mainly in the Sierra Madre mountains of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Durango. They are one of the few ethnic groups that has managed to remain "pure" since the time of the Spanish conquest. They make hand-beaded sculptures decorated with many different symbols, and in every colour imaginable. They leave hidden messages in their art, and the figures are the inspiration of trips that the Wixarikas make to the spiritual world during shamanic rituals.

ArtMexico has been working with the Wixarika community for years, and proudly shares their amazing creations with the rest of the world. The families we work with get to maintain their traditions and preserve their culture, handing down the secrets of this incredible folk art from generation to generation.

ArtMexico and the Wixarika community thank you for supporting the Wixarika culture and helping to keep their precious traditions alive.
