You knew you were too old for NIOSA the year your roommate continued her kissing festival on the couch, then woke up in the dude’s puke.
You’re finally living on your own, so throw a grown-up fiesta in the safety of your casa with a colorful touch from Cut It Out. Local artist, Kathleen Trenchard, handmakes custom papel picados, luminarias, invitations and table accessories for any occasion. Spell out a sentiment or ask for just the right art on your paper pretties – the festival-friendly décor will get guests in the mood for merriment all year-round. And come morning, the only thing you’ll have to worry about is what happened to all that mysteriously missing wine.
As for that random roomie, last you heard she was still searching for her dignity.
Want to cut corners? Try making your own papel picado. Buy a $12 colorful kit with easy instructions from Cut It Out, and slice your way to Easter, Fiesta and Texas-themed decorations. Great for kids, too!
