Decorating with Artificial or Tinsel Garlands.
Try wrapping Artificial or Tinsel Garlands around a banister railing, pole or pillar. To add color to a room you can drape Garlands over picture frames, from ceiling corners or even around a chandelier. Choose a theme and hang glass balls or other Christmas ornaments from the branches of Artificial Garland or weave a strand of colorful Bead Garland through the boughs of Pine Garland. You can add more glitter and glitz by wrapping a strand of Bead Garland around Tinsel Garland so that the Beads make short drapes across the length of the Tinsel Garland.

Tips for hanging Artificial or Tinsel Garlands. Artificial and Tinsel Garlands can accent windows, doorways, stairs, balconies and fire place mantels. The first thing you need to do is measure the area you want to cover. When measuring around windows and doors make sure you include the trim molding in your measurement. This way the Garland won’t get caught when you open the door or window. Measure your stair rail from the top to the bottom of the stairs. To make sure you have the right number of Garlands to wrap around the rail, double or triple your measurement, depending how tight you want the wrap to be. The looser you wrap, the longer the Garland will drape. Select this link to view our Kelly Green Tinsel Garland.
History of Tinsel Garland.
Tinsel was invented in 1610, and was soon used to decorate trees. Tinsel Garland was originally made from actual silver. It was beautiful, but prone to tarnishing of course. Attempts were made to use other metals, but with little real success. In the middle of 20th century, real silver Tinsel Garland gave way to metallic plastic and PVC. Most modern Tinsel Garland is made from flame and tarnish proof PVC. Select this link to view our Moss Green Tinsel Garland.
