A nicho box, or ‘nicho’, is a three-dimensional or recessed display box, used as a portable shrine to an important figure or loved one. Nichos are popular all around Latin America and specially in Mexico and Dia de los Muertos.

You can actually do nichos for anything: loved ones, celebrities, your love for plants? tropical nicho… your cat is the king? Cat shrine coming up… Or you could embrace the spooky season and create your own haunted house, black cat wonderland, or scene from a horror? Shower scene from Psycho anyone??
