EASY WAYS TO MAKE CIRCLES AND ARCS

SOME SPRINGBOARDS FOR DESIGN

Of course tracing is the fastest way to make a circle, from your finest crystal to the lid off your garbage, your plates with scalloped edges and serving platters etc. can all be traced. (Glass can be scratched so do not use metals as templates).

You can make a paper pattern or wing it; or try this. Tie a string one half the size of circle you wish to make to a window suction cup with your drawing tool on the end of it. (No suction handy, use tape!) This is also handy for making arcs for lettering etc.

CIRCLES and ARCS are made in the same way using this method.

GLOBES AND SPHERES

Should it glitter?
Or have a ring or two?
Or depict action?

It could have a diamond!
Or be a golden band!
