\n"\;Mexican Paper Flowers History
\nIn Pre-Hispanic times a fiber called \;amatl\, made out of tree bark\, was used to write the Aztec and Mayan codices and was also utilized to ornate ceremonial places and burials.
\nAfter the Spanish conquest\, paper brought from Spain became widely used\, and in the 16th Century the first paper mill in America was built in Culhuacan\, a small town near Mexico City.
\nA few decades later\, a thin and colored paper called \;papel de China \;(tissue paper) arrived with the Manila Galleons and was soon used to make paper decorations like paper flowers and cut paper flags.
\nPaper flowers were used to decorate the church in times of the year were natural flowers were not available.
\nThe craft evolved as talented artisans made different types of flowers in a great variety of shades accomplishing realistic\, bright and colorful paper flowers.
\nNowadays Mexican paper flowers are not only used in Mexico\, but as they have become quite popular around the world are sold in tourist destinations and exported to other countries."\; - From \;https://www.mexican-folk-art-guide.com/mexican-paper-flowers.html LOCATION:Cartersville Library Classroom 429 West Main Street Cartersville\, GA 30120 UID:e.1202.157108 SEQUENCE:3 DTSTAMP:20260513T145101Z URL:https://business.cartersvillechamber.com/events/details/crafternoon-tissue-paper-flowers-157108 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
