Fabric Scrap Stars: Who doesn’t love stars? Grab those leftover fabric scraps and cut them into star shapes. Sew the edges together, leaving a small opening to stuff them lightly with cotton.

Cinnamon Stick Bundles: For a rustic vibe, tie together a few cinnamon sticks with twine. Add a sprig of greenery or a dried orange slice for an extra pop. Not only do they look adorable, but they also fill your home with a delightful scent!
