Islamic geometry - stars and hexagons

This is a design I am teaching my Islamic Arts students. It is based on 3-fold geometry.

The hexagrams and 6-pointed starts tessellate, which means that they fit together each other perfectly. If you look closely you can see how inside every hexagon you can create a star, and in every star there is a hexagon!
