Tinsel is a thin metallic strip typically made of plastic for use for Christmas decoration, particularly on Christmas trees. Tinsel is different than Garland, which is “Tinsel on a rope”. It was invented in Germany in 1610, and was originally made of shredded silver.

Tinsel used to include lead, which caused the strands to hang better from the branches. This was eventually removed due to safety concerns.
