A good fit for your idea?

Choose the exact edition first. Its preview, pieces, paper size and instructions belong together; no physical fit or assembly approval is implied.

Match the tile quantities to the board

A six-by-six board has 36 cells. Each cell needs two half-square triangles, so the 72-piece triangle sheet fills one complete board. To build both boards, print it twice.

The square tiles can act as backing pieces. The rhombi are an optional free-arrangement shape and are not promised to fill square cells without gaps.

From file to finished page

  1. Choose the paper size loaded in your printer and open the matching PDF.
  2. Print the matching paper edition at actual size (100%). Measure the printed 50 mm line before cutting. The screen preview is not a measurement test.
  3. The square sheet provides 36 optional 20 mm backing tiles and six rhombi for free arrangements. The triangle sheet provides 72 triangles, enough to fill one 6 x 6 board. Print a second triangle sheet to build both boards.
  4. Cut the loose tile sheets on solid boundaries. Do not cut the placement boards. On the alternating-diagonal board, fill every numbered cell with one dark and one light triangle, using the shaded half as the dark-color guide.
  5. The chevron board repeats paired diagonals down the columns. Follow its shaded halves and rotate the matching triangles into position. Rhombi do not fit these square cells; use them on separate backing.
  6. Color the loose tiles before attaching them, or transfer their outlines to colored paper. Dry-arrange the complete design first.
  7. Glue each tile lightly to a backing sheet after checking the pattern. These are paper tiles, not a fitted construction system or fabric cutting pattern.
Printing and use notes

The dimensions describe the flat pattern and fold lines, not guaranteed internal capacity.

Physical printing, fit and assembly have not been tested. Make a scrap-paper trial before using special stock.

This is a decorative or organizational paper project, not protective shipping packaging, food-contact material or a load-rated container.
