Title: Tinsel for Pony Customs?
Post by: Tropical_Sunset on April 16, 2020, 02:31:08 AM
What are some good places/brands to buy pony hair-sized tinsel, the same thickness used by Hasbro? I ordered some thinking I'd found the right size but it's way too thick.  :(

In the UK we have a shop called Hobbycraft (you can order online yaiy) & if you look in its thread section there are some tinsel threads which appear to have the same texture & thickness as Pony tinsel. There's another tinsel thread here & I posted a picture of Xmas tree, who has green Hobbycraft tinsel thread through her mane & tail. The thread comes in a variety of colours including iridescent.

I'm sure other countries have their own craft shops with tinsel threads.

I use Sulky Sliver Metallic from Gütermann, which is available in the US as well https://www.sulky.com/catalog/sub/thread/metallic/sliver/ (https://www.sulky.com/catalog/sub/thread/metallic/sliver/)

Did you look at etsy? Sometimes there're sellers with good tinsel either https://www.etsy.com/de/search?q=tinsel%20hair (https://www.etsy.com/de/search?q=tinsel%20hair)
