About this design
Many families now remember their pets on Día de los Muertos, and October 27 is often set aside for them. A paw-print banner is a gentle way to decorate a pet’s altar.
How to cut this template
- Download the PDF and print it at 100% on letter-size paper.
- Stack two to four sheets of tissue paper behind the template.
- Fold everything in half along the dashed line, template on the outside.
- Clip the layers and cut away the gray areas, starting with the bottom edge.
- Unfold slowly, fold the top band over a string and glue it.
Tips
- The toes are small circles: a hole punch makes them perfectly round.
- Try white or light blue tissue with a bright string.
- See the pet ofrenda guide for what else to put on the altar.
