I guess I will add my own two cents. lol

I print all my (3/4inch) hexagons on 24lb "heavy weight" printer paper. It is a little thicker than normal printing paper but not as thick as card stock. I then cut them out with an X-acto knife. Then I punch a hole in the center and use an Elmers glue stick to glue it to the center of a 2" square of fabric, for some reason I can't use pins to hold the paper in place while I am basting them. I make a BUNCH of these up at one time stick them in a zip lock bag with a pair of snipps, thread and needles. Then I am ready to go and its fast to grab as I am heading out the door or whatever!

I put the hole in the center so it is easier to pull the paper out once you are done sewing everything together. All you have to do is stick a toothpick in the whole and flip it out of there!

Good luck with whatever way you decide to do it.
