Do you have a bunch of extra yarn laying around? Turn it into a yarn pom pom (or pom poms) and make one of these pom pom ...
The pattern on my garland uses 1 large pom pom with Christmas variegated yarn, 1 large pom pom with green yarn, 4 medium pom poms with cream/gold yarn, and 2 small pom poms with red yarn.
