Handmade Recycled Paper Mache Christmas Ornaments - Set of 3 Blue Floral Decorations, Eco-Friendly Indian Craft for Holiday Tree Decor & Gift Giving

Handcrafted by artisans in India using a traditional papier-mâché technique, these beautiful handpainted ornaments celebrate the season with whimsical designs. These papier mache ornaments are made of paper pulp & wood. There are two main steps in the process of creating papier mache items. The first is the sakhtsazi, or the actual production of the item. The second is the naqashi, when the item is painted with any number of motifs. Both of these processes are relatively simple but involve an investment in time and labor.
