This scan from an old slide shows a family in Jenaro Herrera making faux crepe paper by sewing sheets of toilet paper together. You probably didn't know this trick. Streamers made from the paper are going to be hung in Hernan Peña's billiard hall as decoration for the reception following my wedding (thx, Elysa). [NOTE: They sewed 40 rolls of toilet paper for this event; it was really quite festive].
