How to cut a Perfect circle

Now for some this will look ridiculously simple, but I know the not-so-creative mommies will be thankful for this tip, so bare with me!

This technique works when you want to cut stickers, fabric, or a circle out of something that is bendable, and don't retain the creases when folding in step 2.

What you need:

- The material you want to cut

- A paper plate

- Scissors

- Pencil

 

Step 1- Decide on the size circle you want, and use the size paper plate that is closest to the desired size,rather bigger than smaller, then use step 7 to go smaller.

Step 2- Fold the plate in quarters. Try to make the lines defined, or use a pencil and ruler to make it more clear if you want.

Step 3- Cut one quarter off.

Step 4- Fold your material twice, so there is 4 layers. Keep folded. Then place your paper plate quarter you just cut, on the corner of the CLOSED crease.

Step 5- Draw with a pencil that arch. If you are more confident you can simply cut the material by holding the paper plate quarter in place.

Step 6- Open up, voila!

Step 7(optional)- You can now make other circles going smaller and smaller by doing this:

Marking, for example, 1 cm off at both side, and cutting on the lines. I did it twice to get these:

Very easy when you've done it once! Try it! Oh, and you may thank me in the comments, not-so-creative-moms;)
