4 Simple Tricks to Draw Perfect Circles When You Don’t Have a Compass

Today we explore ingenious techniques for drawing perfect circles without the need for a compass. Whether you’re in a classroom or just looking for creative alternatives, we’ve got you covered. Discover these DIY methods to achieve flawless circles effortlessly.

1. Paperclip

• Insert a pencil into each end of the paperclip.
• Hold one end firmly in place as an axis and rotate the other pencil around it to trace a circle.

2. Scissors

• Tape a pencil to one of the scissor blades.
• Firmly place the scissor blade without the pencil as the axis on the paper and, by twisting around the paper, rotate the blade with the pencil to draw a circle.

3. Protractor

• Insert a pencil at the central point of the protractor and another at one of the corners.
• Keep the pencil at the central point steady as the axis, and rotate the other pencil around it to trace a perfect circle.

4. Fist

• Your fist will be the axis, so press it firmly onto the paper while holding a pencil.
• Place the pencil tip on the paper, and without moving your fist or the pencil, rotate the paper 360 degrees while creating a continuous line until you close the circle.
