In Mexico, papel picado are paper cut-outs usually cut with sharp fierritos (small chisels) from as many as fifty layers of colored tissue paper at a time. Many, like these, are made for Día de los Muertos.

These are fabulous! The designs are reminiscent of techniques found in vintage filet #crochet motifs. 😍
