Many kids and adults spool knit but don't know what to do with the cord after they knit it. Why not use it this year as Christmas tree garland? If you don't already have cord knitted, learn how to make rainbow spool knitted garland with leftover scraps of yarn. Happy Crafting and Happy Holidays!"

1. Handmade Ornament Wreath: Gather a variety of colorful ornaments in different shapes and sizes. Use a foam wreath form as your base and hot glue the ornaments onto the form, overlapping them to create a lush and eye-catching wreath. Add a bow or some ribbon for the finishing touch.

2. Embroidered Hoop Ornaments: Create mini works of art by embroidering holiday designs onto small embroidery hoops. Use festive colors and patterns to stitch snowflakes, reindeer, or Christmas trees. These ornaments look lovely hung on the tree or displayed in clusters on a mantle.

3. Pom Pom Garlands: Make your own pom poms using yarn in various colors and sizes. String them together on a piece of twine or ribbon to create a playful and cozy garland for your tree or mantelpiece. You can also add beads or bells for extra flair.
