Simple Grid
Needs attentionA basic 2x2 grid. The straight seams form hinge lines - the panel could fold along them.
Example Patterns
Six patterns, reviewed. Switch each one between your original drawing and the marked-up version to see the tricky cuts before you reach for the glass.
Flower Pattern
Good to goCurved petals with smooth shapes. No acute angles, so nothing here is likely to crack at the table.
Star Design
Needs attentionRadial pattern with many small pieces meeting at center. Risk of hinge point at center.
Diamond Border
Difficult cutsDiagonal seams create multiple hinge lines. Some acute angles at diamond corners.
Honeycomb
Good to goHexagonal tessellation. No straight seams run across the panel, so it holds together well.
Crescent Moon
Good to goCurved design with minimal pieces. Clean cuts, nothing tricky to grind or lead.
