Making Tinsel Balls |
|
|
Does anyone remember throwing those cool "tinsel balls" on the Christmas tree as part of its decoration? I used to love those and you can't get those anymore. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make them because I'd love to have them again. They're just round balls, and the tinsel sticks out all over them - I guess they look like koosh balls but made with tinsel. They are kind of hard to explain but if anyone knows what I'm talking about and how to make them, I'd love to know.
Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry I don't know how, but I loved those things. All you had to do was give it a toss and it stuck. I wish I knew who made them. They were stiff, not like regular tinsel-and a whole lot of fun! If you ever find out anything,PLEASE post!
RE: Making Tinsel Balls
I'm 42 and I remember tinsel but not the tinsel balls. But as to making them, could you make them like you would the yarn pompons? With those you take a piece of cardboard about the size of the ball you would want, loosely wrap the yarn (or tinsel in this case) around the cardboard several times. Carefully slide off the cardboard and take a piece of yarn/tinsel and tie around the middle. Then cut the ends and move the ends around in shape of a ball. I'm thinking you would really have to use alot of tinsel to get this to shape like a ball since the tinsel would be so flimsy. I'm curious about these now and may have to find some tinsel to try this project.
