More tips:
If you make little curlicues like the sample (in photo), leave the end strands uncut so they can be used to sew on the curlicue/ s to scarfs, bags, clothing etc..
Make in lots of colours (leaving on end strands) and tie on a scarf to brighten it up, untie and change colours whenever you feel like a change.
Use curlicues instead of pom poms or bobbles.
Make in a chunky or fluffy yarn for a scarf.
Make in a cotton twine or flax yarn for a belt.
Make mini curlicues in cotton and wire for earrings.
Make in a thick cotton and attach one or more to a keyring.
Can be attached to necklaces or used to make curlicue flowers.
