I did this one to explain a friend how to make an amigurumi bear. Its was in mcdonalds while i was eating some deluxe fries. :-D

If you're using a 2-inch hexagon, you should cut ~3-inch squares of fabric. (If you're using a different size hexagon, just add an inch to the height, and cut that size of square fabric).

 

You could cut the squares into hexagons at this point, but it's just easier to leave them as squares.

It's built with a vibrating pager motor and the busines end of a toothbrush that has slanted bristles.

Using the diamond hole cut in the paper hexagon, pin it to the approximate center of the [wrongside of the] square of fabric.

The credit card holder has a couple of support vanes moulded into it. These are important when paired with a money clip, but they cause a problem if you want to use two card holders.

Fold another side of the fabric along the next edge of the hexagon. This second fold should overlap with the first.

Remove the little ring on top of the gear nearest the wires.

Remove the top middle gear first.

Try not to contaminate or remove the servo grease.

Superglue should now be in place. It will take a while to dry, in the meantime...

Take your snippers and remove the tab. Cut it off as low as possible.

You may need to file off whatever's left.

  

I have this tendency to start every other tutorial with a warning about how easy the skill is; and aside from the knitting/crochet patterns, the step to entry really is quite simple and anyone can do it. These hexagon quilt pieces are like the others- if you can sew by hand, you can do it!

 

Now, what you do with them is another matter. I like this hexagon decorated fabric box, and there's potholders and a tote bag, of course. Or "hex jeans". Or go wild and make a whole quilt of hexagons. The method I'm introducing below was created by combining the most common sense of several hexagon tutorials into the easiest possible steps.

Flip over to reveal the servo horn. Yours may have a white circlular horn or similar, but it doesn't matter.

CNN, ABC News, MTV, Entertainment Tonight and local news reporters use mic flags on every broadcast. They are those rectangular ornaments on handheld microphones that display the network/show/stations logo.

 

Logo artwork can be designed on your PC and printed on a color printer. Print onto self-adhesive Avery labels, transparent acetates, or solid paper. Laminate your creation and then just attach it to the sides of the flag.

 

Mic Flag sell online for $20-$40. They can be made in about half an hour using materials that cost less than $1.

 

This is a step-by-step process of how to make a mic flag.

Using the contrasting thread and needle, sew through the overlap of the fabric. Do not sew through the paper. Do not sew through the "front" of the fabric.

 

By just sewing through the overlap at the corner, you won't have to worry about removing the contrasting thread later.

 

This little trick will give you perfect, strong corners every time!

 

First sew one side of what ever it is that you're making.

Everything in place and all together.

Frames have been centered with each other, and toetacked into place with wood screws.

I planning on putting a 'trim' around the edges, that will have a short lip that extends above. I think I'm going to use some of the nicer wood we have around the compound, but that will take some time to clean it all up. So more to come...

I decided to use peg board as the platform's surface. I will not be using a box spring with this mattress, so it is very important that air circulates underneath. Didn't like the idea of drilling a bazillion holes in plywood, or cutting a bunch of slats, so went this route.

Repeat steps 7-12, making as many hexagons as you need for your project.

 

Replace the gear that was nearest the wires.

Materials: Assorted fabrics (I used calicos, osnaburg, and a linen mix), (Fabric+Paper) Scissors , (Contrasting+Matching) Thread, Needle, Pins, Pencil, Ruler, Scrap Printer Paper, and hexagon template on card stock (or plastic).

 

Continue repeating steps 9 & 10, until the hexagon is complete. You can remove the pin at this point, but not the paper!
