Paper cone character bases / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Plain 100 to 140 gsm paper for a first dimensional trial; approximately 160 to 220 gsm card only after confirming the folds. Use a ruler, suitable scissors, a blunt scoring tool and a small amount of paper adhesive. An adult should handle internal cuts, holes and small fasteners.

Before making a batch

Measure the 50 mm reference and two named component dimensions.

Make a complete empty trial and document fold direction, joining order, collision, stability and any fragile features.

Repeat the trial using your chosen paper. Check that every join holds and each moving part works freely before decorating.

Orientation
Portrait

Cone sector radius: 77 mm; angle 170 degrees; joining tab 7 mm.

Ideal paper-surface cone: base diameter 72.72 mm and height 67.87 mm before material/adhesive effects.

From file to finished page

  1. Cut the cone sector with its seam tab attached. Score the seam hinge and gently curl the sector.
  2. Overlap the plain radial edge onto the shaded tab, aligning the pointed end and curved rim endpoints. Glue the seam and let it dry.
  3. Cut the head with its lower fixing tab attached and bend the tab back. Glue the tab at the cone tip with the face upright.
Printing and use notes

Drawing dimensions describe flat paper surfaces, not verified internal capacity, load strength, fit or material compatibility.

No mailing, food-contact, archival, toy-safety, protective-wear or cutting-machine certification is supplied.

Make a plain-paper trial first; paper thickness and fold accuracy can change the fit.
