Also carnival - and even hearses are decorated with (black) Paper flowers.
Manufacturing
Paper flowers made of crepe paper cut into strips and tied at one end are a widespread decorative element. The large and small flowers are tied and opened in different colors in hours of work by women and older children.
Others
The greatest enemy of paper flowers is rain: the flowers, which have been tied in laborious work, quickly lose their color and hang limply. Because of this and because of the great amount of work, paper flowers have gone out of fashion in the last decades of the 20th century and are being increasingly replaced by (synthetic) fabric ribbons, etc.
