About these products

Alamex Crafts is a line of bright and colorful papier mache and plaster of paris fish strings and wall plaques from the beautiful central Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. This area of Mexico has a wonderful tradition of crafts and is a region with an abundance of talent.

Many Uses

The hand-painted, lightweight, and fun papier mache strings are ideal for decorating a home or patio. Fish strings are available in a variety of colors and patterns. Fruits, chiles and vegetables come in different assortments. Wall plaques are brightly painted images of your favorite animals and images. Perfect for children's rooms, dens, kitchens and restaurants. Custom designs are also available (minimum order required and 3 months delivery).

Strings and plaques can hang outdoors as long as they are protected from direct rain. All crafts are sealed with lacquer and will not fade if exposed to direct sunlight. Hooks are attached so you can hang them from ceilings, posts, or in windows -- they are real eye-catchers!

Responsible

Papier mache fits well our desire to promote sustainable craft development, since it uses recycled newspaper and low impact materials. A percentage of sales from these products will be used to support biodiversity conservation and environmental education projects in the mega-diverse country of Mexico.
