This tinsel string is so soft and sparkly, it is surprisingly sturdy for tying around packages and on little holiday garlands. this tinsel string measures a fluffy 1/4 inch wide. you will receive 12 feet wound around a vintage game card and tied with a vintage chartreuse ribbon, a frosted cranberry stamen and a tiny vintage velvet leaf. **please note: if you have purchased silver tinsel string from me before this listing for tinsel string is a bit fuller than the tinsel string i sold last holiday season. i think you will love it.** a piece of tinsel string is shown in the third photo tied atop a glass bottle so you can see the tinsel string close up the bottle and silver threads are not included with this listing. thank you.
