Often there are situations when you need to cut a flat circle from paper. There are several ways to do this using not only traditional stationery. The main thing is to use ingenuity in this matter.
Step -by -step instruction
If you have a compass, then this will greatly simplify your task. With it, you will draw a circle of any diameter. The difficulty can occur in cutting when the circle is located in the center of the sheet, and the sheet itself cannot be cut. Then, taking the scissors, you need to pierce the paper in the circle and then carefully cut out along the line. So you will be able to save the sheet and not melt it.
In general, in cases where, due to a large paper format, it is inconvenient to cut the parts, it is better to use a stationery knife. It can be purchased in any department with stationery. They are not expensive for the price. The clerical knife works like a blade, but only with a handle. Such a knife is very convenient, as it leaves an even section on paper. If you do not have a stationery knife, then you can use the usual blade. Of course, this method is not convenient and dangerous, but as an option it has the right to be.
By the way, the compass can be made from improvised means. You only need a thread and a handle. You need to tie the thread of the length you need to the handle. The length of the thread will be equal to the radius of the circle. The free edge of the thread should be held with one hand in the center of the alleged circle, and with the other hand with the help of a pen to draw a circle. With this method of drawing, you need to constantly monitor the tension of the thread and the vertical position of the handle. After all, it is quite difficult to draw a perfectly even circle with such a “circuit”.
It happens that there is no circul at hand, and it is extremely necessary to draw a circle. In such cases, any objects having a circle will come to the rescue. For example, mugs and plates. For an even circle you need to take a plate, attach it to the sheet and circle it. The main thing is to find a thing of the diameter you need. Next, cut the figure with scissors or stationery knife along the circled circle.
Such advice will definitely come in handy when at the most not suitable time you will need to cut the perfect circle.
