Folk Art Milagro Ornament Kit

This Milagro Ornament Kit was inspired by an exhibition of Milagros from around the world  at the Museum of International Folk Art, in Santa Fe. 

When the Spanish came to the New World, they brought with them the Milagro tradition. Translated from Spanish, the word Milagro means miracle. These “charms” can be made of silver, bone, wood, or wax; and come in many shapes and sizes: from hearts, hands, and eyes, to houses, and animals. Milagros can be offered for healing or in gratitude for a prayer answered. Equally they are carried or given for protection and good luck. 

This kit is made of plywood and is unpainted. Decorate it with your own paints, paint-pens or markers and twine (Not included). 

Dimensions of hand 7" high, 10 ornaments.

String them together to make a wall hanging, add them to the top of gifts or hang them on a tree!
