Unicorn Candy Cup Place Card

Festive addition to unicorn themed party table settings, 

this place card candy cup has modified hexagon platform 

that holds 2.5 oz. condiment cup (2.4375" diam. rim) 

for nuts, candy, or other loose treats. 

Build the detailed unicorn on a base silhouette 

that can attach to the back platform wall. 

Unicorn simple silhouette can also be used 

without the layered accents.

x 3.74" x 3" deep.

A & B platform base shapes
C short panel accents  D long (front & back) accents
E top hexagon accent shape
F name card for place setting
G unicorn attachment panel shape
H unicorn shapes

1. Prepare the main platform panels by bending

back on all panel, tab, top and bridge perforation lines.

shapes over short (4) and long (1 or 2) side panels,

with approx. .1" offset all around.

(NOTE the back accent long panel can be

left off when using the unicorn attachment panel.)

Also position and attach hexagon accent shape
over top panel, taking care to line up slot
openings.

and join side seam #2.

4. Bend the top  flanges inward,
bend hex platform down into position
to line up straight edges at flange perf edges,
and glue in place all around.

Turn the platform face down on flat work surface
and apply fingertip pressure along flanges all around.
