Create any convex hexagon
This is a very simple exercise in appearance, but one that requires attention.

The document to download gives a diagram to create any convex hexagon. This is to make 6 consecutive folds, so that the final end of the last fold joins the initial end of the first fold.

Try some variations:
- fold a convex (almost) regular hexagon (the 6 sides are equal),
- fold a convex hexagon whose first three sides are larger than the last three,
- fold a convex hexagon of which one side out of two is larger than the adjacent sides,
- Generalize the process by folding a heptagon, a hexagon, a dodecagon, a convex n-gon.

One hundred penny question: Can you fold a non-convex hexagon, for example looking as a star, without using cutouts?

Treat your folds so that the folds are beautiful to see.
