Tinsel isn't just for Christmas
Despite its name, tinsel is not just for Christmas. The decorative ornamentation was invented in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1610. It is made up of thin strips of silver, aluminum, copper, or other metallic materials attached to a thread. It mimics the icy effect of icicles.
It was originally used on Christmas trees to give them a shiny effect. It is also used as a festive wall decoration. It can be wrapped around stair railings.
Modern tinsel is made from polyvinyl chloride or mylar. It is lightweight and does not tarnish like metal tinsel. It is also much safer to use on a Christmas tree than lead tinsel.
Lead is toxic to all humans. It can lead to seizures, comas, and death. Small children are especially at risk of lead poisoning.
This makes it important to ensure the products and accessories that you buy for your children are safe and made from reliable and approved materials. Buying from reliable stores that only carry products in stock that are from reliable manufacturers is the way to go.
