Lighted reindeer.I am fixing my Christmas outdoor lighted reindeer. I have painted the metal frame, rewired all the lights and would like to put a fabric called tinsel (which is used on all types of Christmas outdoor yard decorations) on the the body of the reindeer, but I'm not able to find this fabric anywhere. It is a shimmery fabric used for outside yard decor. If you look up tinsel yard decorations you can see the different types of Christmas yard decorations. My question is where can I find this tinsel fabric? Can you tell me where to find it?
