Share a little love with this sweet digital cutter and sewing machine Valentine’s Day project. Did you know that stringing up Papel Picado flags in your home can be a reminder to celebrate affection and the joys of living? Papel Picado is a name given to a Mexican folk art where originally decorative flags were meticulously hand cut out of 30-40 layers of tissue paper (china paper) using chisels and hammers. Each flag depicted intricate details depending on the intended celebration. A tradition that is still carried on today. These beautiful flags are hung as colorful decorations across buildings, altars and streets to celebrate secular, religious and other special celebrations in Mexico and in other countries. In honor of this love-filled holiday, using this design created in the Simple Cut software along with the Artistic Edge digital cutter and your Janome sewing machine you can create your own delicately detailed flags out of fabric to celebrate the joys of life and love.
