I found this online and I was really interested in it. The problem I see is they use paper for the hexagon. Any suggestions on some other type of material that could be substituted for the paper? That still could be made in mass quantities easily.

While checking to see why the URl didn't load I found out how to remove it, simple. So I showed my newbieness today.
Try this link and then look down the side.. it seems to load from there.
thank you all for trying

What is wrong with paper? You could use plastic or mylar but paper is easier to cut. I use freezer paper but many people swear by construction paper or cereal boxes. You can also order the hexagons in paper, plastic or mylar in almost any size from many places on the internet. Patti Shambaugh had some plastic ones with a hole in the middle. She would pin a square of fabric through the hole and baste it around the edges then whip stitch a bunch together. She used a chopstick to pop the template back out.

The papers I'm using for my current GFG are cardboardy. I would think that using card stock would be good. Just get the lighter kind. There are differences in weight. I actually bought mine online, was too lazy to cut all those shapes. They are reusable.
