How to make Pink Tinsel
Author: Claire Selby15 Oct

I was inspired after seeing an online tutorial How to make Pink Pipe Cleaners to see if I could simplify the process and vary the tinsel used to turn pink! So I got out some vintage tinsel, I guess it is a type of acetate, and some silver pipe cleaners to dye pink. I used the Bordeaux Ancient Page Archival ink to ink the tinsel well by just rubbing the ink pad over the tinsel until it was about 80 – 90 percent covered. I let it sit for a few minutes and then gently rubbed the excess ink off with 2 paper towels. It set out over night and was ready to use. Voila! Pink tinsel and pink pipe cleaners. This is just my own simple version and I’m sure there are other techniques but if you have the time to play around with it I’m sure you will have some fun, just make sure to wash hands thoroughly after inking or wear gloves!
