SOME TESTIMONIALS:
“Aprylle is an absolute star and definitely one of the very best people I have had the pleasure of dealing with via Etsy. She was super attentive to our custom wedding order of papel picados & even helped us match the paper colours to the flowers picked out by our florist (!). The papel picados she sent us were absolutely beautiful & much loved by all of our guests, as they were used to deck out a marquee in the middle of a Norman castle in Wales. I'm sure we were on the 'demanding' end of anxious soon-to-be-wed customers, but Aprylle was super patient with us & helped inject some creative flair & savour faire that really helped set our party off. Thank you Aprylle” Jack G R

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
