Eddie, thanks for an excellent lesson here. I've bought just a regular hexagon template today and am going to give this a try before the holidays. A few years back we had the attached post and some really cute Christmas ornaments. Take a look. You need to scroll down a bit for the pictures.

Fun! Aren't they?
Thanks again.
