Hi Josie,

You should be able to create a shape very similar to this using a 6 sided polygon and the contour tool I was able to create the initial hexagon very quickly using this method then it is just a case of duplicating it and arranging it in the flower shape shown in your post. If you provide a screenshot showing where you have gotten stuck with this we should be able to help you further.

Thanks
C

Hi Josie it looks like you've done it

Except that the sides are curved. If you choose the Corner Tool you can do this:

Another quick question how do I make shapes like these?

@Callum

I’m not Callum (obviously!) but the first pic is just hexagons without curved corners. The others are mostly variations on donut segments, circles, or round-cornered rectangles.

For this one:

Draw four squares and use the Corner Tool to adjust the outside corners. In my example, each square is 176 px, so I set the radius to 88 px (i.e. half of 176 px).
