I have searched this whole freakin� city for construction paper and tissue paper. I give up. Do they exist? Does colored paper in general exist? I found an art supply store and an Office Depot. The art supply store wanted 60 cents for ONE SHEET of orange paper. The office depot only sold huge packs of one color for printers. Im trying to teach Mercedes about Halloween cause she loves the idea of free candy. I want to make spider bracelets from construction paper and tomorrow we�ll be ready to put the orange tissue paper layer on our paper mauchet pumpkin but we don�t have any. Hellllllppppp!

Hello Melinda, I don't know exactly what it's construction paper or tissue paper. Probably it's what we call cartulina, papel pinocho, papel de seda and papel charol. Papel de seda is cheap, the others are expensive, but you should find them in any paper shop (papeler�a).
I think papel pinocho is papel mache and papel de seda tissue paper...

Have a look at this web I have just found to see if it's any of this kind of paper
http://www.crispatpapel.com/tienda/tienda.vhtml?fam=5&cat=8
but as I said you should find them in any paper shop.

confirming Miguelito�s post...

construction paper is cartulina and tissue paper is pap�l de seda. This recently acquired knowledge of mine comes from having taught a classroom of 14 kids aged 6-7 for a month this past summer (and she survives to tell about it Eeker ) Smiler

You should be able to find these products in Carlin .

Arti-Bel
Calle Mayor #4, 2�-5 (second floor, office 5).

Right off Puerta del Sol.

You canNOT get it at any papeleria. Trust me. I went to at LEAST 20 throughout the entire city plus 2 Alcampos and 4 Corte Ingleses. It isn�t as common as you�d think. Thanks for the tip but I don�t need it anymore... We just painted the thing and found some adhesive velvet to cut shapes out of. Party�s this afternoon and I just have to go get some kiddy prizes for the contests if I don�t get a response from Candela on her pumpkins and candies. No time to make any more decorations. Oh yeah and I have to think of a costume, too....

Melinda
