Hi, just wandering if there was like a way of forming a hexagon shaped peice of paper from a square peice of paper.

Thanks in advance.

Look here.
By the way, it´s "piece" not "peice".

Thank You.

I found this one myself, which seems to lessen the amount of paper need to be lost.

Yes, that´s a good one, just wasn´t sure where to find it.
Very equal to this, the best method to obtain a hexagon is still the one where you fold an rectangular paper on the long side in half, then precrease in half again and fold the bottom right corner through the top right corner up to that middle line. Fold the right edge down aligning with the bottom edge, the top flap should look like a triangle. Fold the triangle over to the top edge, forming a second triangle, and once again to the bottom edge forming a third triangle. Unfold everything and cut out the hexagon.

Gilad´s the best, look here:
