A quick and easy DIY tinsel tree | The Shabby Tree

This is technically called “Victorian Tinsel” which was used in Victorian times to reflect the candlelight on Christmas trees. Love a good history lesson. Need: Wire cutters Flat wire (18 gauge; Width, 5mm) •I used gold and silver and each roll was about 35 yards. This made about 20 tinsels per roll. Using a wire cutter, cut 10 inch pieces. Bend 2inches of the top of the wire over your middle and pointer finger. Using your other hand, grab the bottom of the wire and twist. Hang them up and enjoy
