[edit] PVC tinsel?
PVC is far too soft for tinsel. Most tinsel would be made from some kind of polyester film, usually polyethylene terephthalate, which has much higher heat resistance, better rigidity and far higher tensile strength (PVC stretches at the thickness needed for tinsel).

[edit] Double content
The following sentences are twice in the article : "Modern tinsel was invented in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1610, and was originally made of shredded silver." "Tinsel was invented in Nuremberg around 1610.[1] Tinsel was originally made from extruded strands of silver."
To me, the whole article looks a little like being just a copy-paste of different sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.220.75.31 (talk) 17:47, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
