My family started celebrating Día de Muertos a few years ago to honor my husband's Mexican heritage. After watching and falling in love with the movie "Coco", I decided I wanted to add "papel picado" to our "ofrenda" and build on our celebration of the holiday by using my laser cutter to cut various custom papel picado designs out of colored printer paper. #diademuertos #papelpicado #lasercutting
