Attach a decorative trim to the top rim of the cone along the outside edge. Place a small tassel on the pointed end of the cone with glue.

Create two small holes opposite each other near the top of the cone just under the decorative trim. Run a piece of ribbon through each hole, knotting the ends to secure. Now the ornament is ready to be filled with small ornaments, greenery or candy.
