Diagrams: Brooches 2 and 3 From Regular Hexagons

Left: Brooch 2 From a Regular Hexagon, designed by Arnold Tubis and folded by Jane Rosemarin. Right: Brooch 3 From a Regular Hexagon, designed and folded by Arnold Tubis. Both brooches begin with the same base. See PDF diagrams for both brooches. And here’s how to fold and cut a hexagon from a square.

These brooches share a delightful folding sequence in which layers are magically opened out. I hope you enjoy the process and the result as much as I did. Ian McRobbie helped to edit several steps of Brooch 2.
