Tinsel

Tinsel is a decorative material used mainly during the holiday season to adorn Christmas trees and other festive displays. Traditionally made from shiny, metallic-like strands of plastic or Mylar, it reflects light beautifully, creating a sparkling effect. Its purpose is to add visual warmth and elegance, enhancing the festive atmosphere. Tinsel can also trap heat and sometimes cause small fires if placed near open flames, so it’s important to use it safely. Overall, tinsel’s shimmering appearance contributes to the joyful and celebratory spirit of holiday decorations.
