A hexagon has six equal sides and six equal angles.

Drawing – The shape can be created by cutting away two equilateral triangles from a 45 degree diamond. See also Patchwork with Diamonds and Polygons.

Cutting – Start by cutting a strip ¹⁄₂in (1.3cm) wider than the desired finished height of the hexagon. Cut the strip into 45 degree diamonds. Lay a diamond horizontally as shown. Cut two equilateral triangles off each side of the diamond – these will be half of the diamond’s height.
