 Several Philippine crafts employ paper cutting.During Filipino Christmas, the "parol" (a traditional star-shaped lantern) is embellished with coloured paper cut into various forms such as floral designs on the faces, pom-pons and "tails" on the points of the star.There is also the art of "pabalát" (wrapper), where coloured paper is meticulously cut with small scissors and used to sheathe "pastillas de leche" (carabao milk candy) and other traditional sweets.
