DMC stranded thread :) I have lots from my hand cross stitch. There are some lovely glittery ones available now, a pearl one, and metallic gold and silver which work very well.
When I make Christmas Angels I use a silver or gold matalic ribbon. You can use colored ribbon too. Have fun. Have you tried colored tulle? I purchased some glitterly tulle from my local fabric shop. They came out beauitful.
I just purchased some gold, silver and white glittery tulle yesterday to try. It looks like ribbon is everyone's choice. I did not find any today that was narrow enough but will try some other places. Thank you all!!
I use ribbon on mine. The very thin ribbon that is satin on both sides. Also you can use monofilliment that clear fishing line type too. Suzanne
