Help me "shaker" up my inspiration . . .

So far I've made my cards (trees & presents with keepsake removable decorations). I've done my wreath (reindeers, berries and stars). Table decoration designed and to be done christmas eve (why did i decide on fresh flowers!?!?!) Table place settings etc in hand.
The problem is I've run out of steam on a garland I'm doing for the 'shelving wall' So far I've made some gingerbread men (not real ones) and some shaker styley red & white hearts. I'll be attaching said articles to red raffia. The only thing is it needs to a) be a bit longer and b) have a 'something else' interspersed between men and hearts and I'm at a bit of a loss. Stars don't look right. Any ideas ladies?

could use fake berries or gypsophilia which looks like snow if you tie it on in sprigs.
or cones dipped in glitter?
