Wholesale Papier-mâché Hanging Heart Decoration - Assorted Chinar Leaf

Add a classic, handcrafted touch to your shop display with our packs of 12 traditional hand-painted papier-mâché Chinar leaf design love heart decorations. Each pack will include 4 of each colour. There are two different sizes to choose from. These decorations are perfect to display at any time of the year either as eye-catching standalone decorations for tabletop displays or window arrangements. Each heart is carefully made from recycled materials and hand-painted by skilled artisans, ensuring no two are exactly alike. These slight differences in shape and design highlight their unique, handmade charm, making them a special find for customers seeking an authentic and ethical alternative. The decorations are made by a fair trade group based in Kashmir. The paper to make the decorations comes from old newspapers and books that are collected and recycled into paper pulp that is moulded into shape. They are then hand painted by highly skilled artisans continuing a tradition first introduced to the region in the 14th century. The artisans are members of the World Fair Trade organisation and through buying these decorations you are directly supporting Kashmiri craftspeople and their families, keeping alive a traditional craft and providing much needed work as well as hope and support for artisans in a region that has faced decades of political unrest.
