Vintage Silver Lametta Roping - 1/8-inch Diameter - 10 Feet

More Krausbouillion, Crinkle Wire & Other Tinsel

This gorgeous lametta roping is made of real silver-plated tinsel. Although such tinsels are still made today, ours is vintage and, because of that, shows signs of tarnish - which we absolutely love!

It is wired and quite flexible. The patina will deepen even further with time, allowing your creations to appear as the real German ornaments of old. Each piece measures a bit over 10 feet long and is 1/8-inch in diameter, making the tinsel appear compressed.

Tiny Silver Smooth Krausbouillion

Other Ornament Components

More Krausbouillion, Crinkle Wire & Other Tinsel

If you love krausbouillion, you'll adore this much finer version. It arrives in one very smooth silvery 36-inch strand - less that 1mm in diameter! Don't let the bright silver fool you, this is true silver and will tarnish nicely over time so that it will resemble the ornaments of old.

You can pull it just like our other crinkle wires, but this one is ever so smooth and slippery. Once it is pulled and lengthened, the crinkly wire is so very fine and delicate that it just must be angel hair.

Please be careful when removing the bullion from the package as it stretches easily to many times its original length.

The illustration shows about 4 strands - both original and stretched into crinkly wire.

Vintage Golden Metallic Spiral Wire by the Inch

More Krausbouillion, Crinkle Wire & Other Tinsel

More Vintage

Treasured family Christmas ornaments have become sought after heirlooms - even for those who might not have had any as children. They are quite rare because of their fragility and ephemeral quality. Many were made for the fashion of the time, never expected to last over 100 years.

Even more treasured are the vintage and antique components from which the ornaments were made. We are so fortunate to have found this wonderful example of such a component - and such a unique one at that.

Our golden spiral wire is created from a tough tread that has been covered with woven metallic fibers and then formed into a spiral. The metallic fibre creates a wire-like structure that allows for some give in the spiral. This truly special piece might also be used for passementerie and other projects requiring metal fibers.

It offers a nice patina, showing its age. We gauge this spiral to hail from the 1920s or 1930s. Indeed, it just might be older than that.

The base thread allows you to manipulate this into circles around ornaments, boxes, appliqués and more. It is quite a treasure.

The woven metallic is about 1mm in diameter. The spiraled piece is 9mm or just under 3/8 inch wide.

The spiral is sold by the inch. Your selection will arrive all in one piece, which can be cut with scissors. However, it cannot be re-pieced easily without gluing or sewing, so please measure carefully for your project.

Spun Glass Angel Hair

More Tinsel and the Like

More Christmas

Trimming a holiday tree became prominent during the Victorian times, and spun glass angel's hair or fairy's hair like this was on of the favorites then as it is now! It adds a touch of elegant whimsy to any display - especially when there are electric lights. The soft glow of the cloud-like hair enhances any lights - either white or color.

Still handmade in the traditional manner by a family company, each bag contains 15 grams of non-inflammable super-fine spun glass fibers. Although such spun glass hair is available from other sources, the German spun glass angel hair is truly curly hair. It does not compress easily and will stay curly. Use it as you would tinsel for special effects.

*****Please be careful when decorating or crafting with Spun Glass products. Remember, they are made of glass and might cause some irritation. Please cover your work surface with paper or plastic to catch any stray fibers and consider wearing gloves rather than your bare hands when using the Angel's Hair.

We are providing a pair of hypo-allergenic puncture-resistant, unpowdered Nitrile gloves, size Medium, to help protect your hands with each bag of Angel Hair.
