In that case I'd suggest playing games which don't require hexes! :-)

Last time I did a DIY hex map, I designed one in a vector graphics
program, and printed out onto lots of sheets of A3 paper, which I then
taped together. It was about A(-1) in size.

You could print a grid out onto A4, and use that as a template,
maybe using pins in the vertices to fix the paper grid to the
cloth. Then either use the pin holes (if they can be seen), or
turn the thing over and use the pins themselves, as markers.

Another option is to make it as a quilt. My mum did one once,
wrapping individual bits of cloth around stiff hexagonal card,
then sewing the individual hexagons together. The card is then
removed. That's probably not the easiest way to do it however!
