Some months ago, somebody on the board showed how to fold & cut paper to make a lg. hexagon. She had used it to make a wall hanging. I remember she used newspaper to fold & cut her hexagon.
I looked through the tutorials but can't find it. If the original person doesn't read this, do any of you remember that or can tell me again how to do it?
Thanks.

Here's an explanation without pictures.

You cut a strip with size you want the hexagon, fold the strip in half, use a triangle ruler, etc.

Here's one using Kaye Woods StarMaker ruler.

Maybe you have a triangle ruler or can make a sturdy template for the triangle.

This is the easiest way I know. All you need is a compass and a straight edge...or if you want BIG, a pencil and some string will substitute for the compass. http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Hexagon The length of each side is equal to the radius of your circle.
