Nina Vinyl Sticker / Calcomanía de Vinil
This sticker design is inspired by a beloved popular Mexican toy called “muñeca de cartón“ or “Lupita doll“.
This sticker design is named Nina inspired by my mum’s nine sisters. Stick it on your favourite notebook, on your ipad or on your wall as decor!
Paper mache dolls otherwise known in Spanish as “muñecas de cartón” are made with a technique called “cartonería” in Mexico.
To make “muñecas de cartón” artisans use layers of paper are bonded and molded together with a homemade glue called engrudo. The surface of this technique becomes very hard when it dries, and as a result, it is incredibly durable. Then, they are painted and decorated with acrylic paints, sequins and glitter.
This technique has been used to make a variety of crafts for many years. Although there is no certainty of the origins of this toy, it is believed that the paper mache doll was born in the late colonial to early Mexican Independence period, created by poorer families to imitate more expensive porcelain dolls from Spain.
Materials: Sticker made of vinyl printed in the United Kingdom.
Dimensions: 4 cm x 10 cm.
