TINSELS Meaning and Definition

  1. Tinsels are defined as thin, shiny strands or ribbons made from a metallic material, often used for decoration or embellishment purposes. These strands are usually made up of thin strips of aluminum, plastic, or a similar material, coated with a reflective surface, such as silver, gold, or multicolored metallic hues.

Tinsels are also used in party décor, crafting projects, and theatrical productions to create visually appealing effects.
