Papel Picado in English?
|
Hi, I �m doing a ws about the day of the dead and I there is this: "papel picado" and I �m not sure about the translation, could it be "cutting paper"?
Here is a picture:
As you can see, it is a piece of paper cut to give an image.
Thank you
Bere

I know in Mexico it �s called Papel de China...I believe in English it is TISSUE paper...and I �ve even heard someone call it RICE paper...But a name for this paper with figures cut to it I �m not so sure...Engraved tissue paper, perhaps? I don �t know, and I don �t think carved would apply in this case...but maybe a native speaker could help us with this?
Happy half Week!!!

I have never seen these - they are amazing! What do you do with them? Frame them and hang them on the wall?
The round ones we use to put cakes on are called doily / doilies.
