Did you do them with a compass? When you draw out the lid of the box, you use a compass to draw a circle the size of the lid. Keep the compass at the same radius of the circle, put the point of the compass anywhere on the circle, and use the pencil to make a small mark further round the circle. Then put the point of the compass on that mark you made, and make another mark further round the circle. If you keep doing that, making sure that your compass measurement hasn't changed, when you get back to where you started, you should have six marks around the circle. Join them up with straight lines, and that should give you a perfect hexagon.
