Here is how I developed the pattern. I first took a piece of paper and made a cone. Then I just started cutting the bottom to mimic the ovals I saw in the pillow-pack pattern in Forms, Folds and Sizes. I played with the pattern a bit and made a second sample. Then I drew lines on the folds and scanned it into the computer. I evened up all the lines and printed the pattern out.
(Click on the pattern to download and use at any size.) To make the Christmas tree gift box ornaments I simply held the cut out pattern on top of the wallpaper sample page (I did this because in some cases I was being fussy about where the print on the paper fell on the pattern). Then I folded back the side flap, applied glue and stuck it under the opposite side. Then I folded up the two bottom flaps. All that was left to do was glue a small loop into a pom pom and then the pom pom onto the tip of the tree. Oh and then let's not forget to fill each tree with a little gift(I am using mine for jewelry)! So make some fun little Christmas tree ornament gift boxes or get inspired to design your own! And hey, if you get stumped, shoot me an email and I see if I can help you out.
