About the Tinsel

Tinsel is a decoration of thin, sparkling strips that catch the light like ice. It is draped over Christmas trees and wound around railings and lamps to add shine to a celebration. The first tinsel was invented in Germany in 1610 and was made from shredded real silver. Color this tinsel shape in silver and gold before hanging the real thing for a party.

  • Tinsel was first made in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1610 from shredded silver.
  • Its shiny strips are made to sparkle like hanging icicles.
