Cut each hexagon in half from tip to tip. Punch one additional hexagon from cardstock to use as a template. Apply a small amount of Repositionable Adhesive to the template and gently place it in the center of a circle.<br><br><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> Position one half-hexagon on the circle so the long straight edge overlaps halfway onto the template hexagon edge and the side aligns evenly with the side of the template (see photo for reference).
