This definition is founded in the early post-Mexican Revolution era when artists and intellectuals were concerned with creating a native identity for Mexico, which revolved around the concept of “mestizo” or the blend of European and indigenous races.

During the same decade, the first socio-economic studies of these craft traditions took place, with the aim of establishing economic policies in their regard. In 1969, the first Congreso Nacional de Artesanía took place in Mexico City, which led to the creation of the Consejo Nacional par alas Artesanias, with a store named the Palacio de las Artesanías. Later the Direccion General de Arte Popular and the Fondo Nacional para el Fomento de la Artesanias were created. These would be later replaced with the Dirección General de Culturas Populares and within this entity is the Departamento de Artesanías. Next was established the Junta de Fomento de Artesanos, which published a magazine called Semanario Artístico. To promote Mexican made products, the group organized the Juntas Patrióticas, which has one objective as the exclusive consumption by its members only of folk art and crafts from Mexico.<sup id="cite_ref-garduño_21-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-garduño-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many of these organizations have recognitions, awards and events related to artesanía including a national prize the Premio Nacional de Arte Popular (National Folk Art Award).<sup id="cite_ref-monsivais_7-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-monsivais-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>With the rise of intellectual and formal institutional interest in artesanía came also an ebb of interest in the Mexican populace.

By the end of this period, artesanía was considered to be nothing more than a collection of curiosities.

Traditionally, the bark was cut and scraped by men, but the making the paper itself was done by women. The process begins by washing the bark, then boiling it with ashes. It is then rinsed and beaten until the fibers knit together, then dried in the sun. <a href="/wiki/Papel_picado" title="Papel picado">Banderolas, or cut-paper banners</a>, are hung in the streets for special occasions.<sup id="cite_ref-aprahamian70_37-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-aprahamian70-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Leatherwork</b> in Mexico is closely tied to the charro/vaquero, or cowboy tradition, focusing on the creation of saddles, belts and boots.
