You Will Need
-
Step 1We will need a piece of carton paper or card stock (I cut mine from a cereal carton box), a ruler, a sewing pin, a toothpick and 2 pens/pencils.
-
Step 2Make a rectangle out of your carton paper. Mark points with an interval of 10mm in between and poke through the dots with a sewing pin. Enlarge the holes with a toothpick.
-
Step 3And that's it, we are done! Let’s try it out.
Take out 2 pens and decide how big you want your circle to be. The distance between the 2 pens is half the diameter of the circle. Image: The distance between the 2 pens is 30mm so we will have a 60mm wide circle. -
Step 4One pen will serve as the pivot (this one does not move) and the other one will be the drawer. Have a try!
-
Step 5A circle is drawn!
