- On Isometric Paper, draw a regular hexagon (six sides with equal length sides), and divide the hexagon into six equal parts. Each segment should be an equilateral triangle, with each side the same length, and each angle 60 degrees.
- Draw a design in one triangle and rotate the design five more times.
- If necessary use some tracing paper, to make sure you are rotating your design correctly. If you don't have tracing paper, using baking / parchment paper.
