'One of the simplest ways to decorate a Christmas tree is to use lengths of coloured ribbon that can be simply tied to the end of branches, without a bow, so that the ribbon hangs casually. Wired ribbon can be a very effective way of ‘filling out’ your tree with structured bows or you can wind the wired ribbon through the tree branches and mould it into shape with your fingers, as you would with a strand of tinsel.'

History of the Christmas Tinsel

[ permanent dead link] Lametta gives a beautiful, aesthetic look to all of the objects it is hung upon. But, most people who initially used heavy metal tinsel for decoration are of the opinion that Lametta made of plastic cannot be compared to the original charm of silver tinsel, that would shine through and through and would stay better on a certain object, despite the issues of tarnishing. a b Werne, Jo (December 20, 1981). "Decorations spanned decades in development". Telegraph-Herald. Dubuque, Iowa. p.25 . Retrieved 17 December 2011. The purpose of using Lametta in a Christmas tree is to make it look like a starry night. When candles on and around the Christmas tree sparkle in darkness, the shine of Lametta dominates the surrounding, filling it with a peaceful, magical aura that only a few can resist falling for. Nuremberg, the city that first introduced the world to Lametta, is mentioned in a documentary in 1050 as an imperial castle. In the next five centuries, the city became a strategic location due to the presence of trade routes. The Nuremberg Castle often hosted the Imperial Diet, thereby getting renowned as the unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 15 th and the 16 th century, Nuremberg became the center of the German Renaissance.

If you want the look you remember from years ago… you have to go with the vintage metal German Lametta. During the 1950s, tinsel and tinsel garlands were so popular that they frequently were used more than Christmas lights, as tinsel was much less of a fire hazard than lights were for the then-popular aluminum Christmas trees, which were made from flammable aluminized paper. [7] Filled with rich architectural wonders, Nuremberg is a sight to behold. A walk around the city will make your jaw drop in awe. With the presence of visitors all year round, there is no day and no place in Nuremberg that may seem dull to you. lt;p>Keep away from fire. Keep out of reach of children.

How to Hang Tinsel on a Christmas Tree

And warning… as you walk by the tree (if your tree is placed on carpet) you will attract it with your clothing . And for weeks after the tree is cleared away… the lametta will still turn up around the house. Like a Christmas memory for your vacuum cleaner! By the early 20th century, manufacturing advances allowed cheap aluminium-based tinsel, and until World War I, France was the world leader in its manufacture. Production was curtailed during the First World War as a result of wartime demand for copper. [6] With beautiful architecture preserved or rebuilt by the citizens themselves as a sign of infinite human spirit, a beautiful Christmas Market, and friendly locals to make your traveling even easier, Nuremberg, according to one of its mayor is really, “Most German of German cities.” Tinsel prints are two different types of print, where tinsel is added after printing, for decorative effect. The older type is a rare style of German religious woodcut from the early 15th century. The later type is English and 19th-century, especially used for prints of actors in their roles. [14]

The beauty of Lametta… of Tinsel… is most evident on Christmas Eve. My parents would be sure that all the lights in the house are turned off, and candles are lit around the room. Once upon a time the tree would have had real candles on it too, but here in California we had electric lights as a fire precaution. Lead foil was a popular material for tinsel manufacture for several decades of the 20th century. Unlike silver, lead tinsel did not tarnish, so it retained its shine. However, use of lead tinsel was phased out after the 1960s due to concern that it exposed children to a risk of lead poisoning. [8] In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded in August 1971 that lead tinsel caused an unnecessary risk to children, and convinced manufacturers and importers to voluntarily stop producing or importing lead tinsel after January 1, 1972. The FDA did not actually ban the product because the agency did not have the evidence needed to declare lead tinsel a "health hazard." [9] A city that has witnessed years and years of bloody politics with a wave of freedom struggle is the best place to explore the footprints of the glorious past and trace them to reach the beautiful present.
