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.

Now wait for the glue to dry. This takes ages if you put a lot on!

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

Take off the cover.

Tab's been snipped!

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.

On the left hand side of the photo is an open package of Gentel Grip Standard Styrofoam that was purchased at Walmart for $.99. www.styrofoamcrafts.com Three 2 5/8" X 3 1/2" X 3 1/2 bricks come in a package.

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.

The top frame of the bed. Slightly larger, and built with 2x4's.

Join ITS Tactical as we show you how to rig a tarp shelter in part one of our video series. In this first video we'll be demonstrating tying a trunk line using a slipped half hitch and a power cinch knot. View more details on www.itstactical.com/2010/05/06/knot-of-the-week-rigging-a...

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...

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

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.

Screw removed!

Slide eggs into water

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

Remove all four long screws.

Remove the horn.

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).

Fold the fabric along the next edge of the hexagon, be careful not to bend the paper hexagon.

All that's left is to sleep on it. :)

Lay it flat with the screws pointing up.

Replace the central gear.

The BristleBot is a vibrobot with an agenda.

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

Remove all four long screws.

Unscrew the horn.
