What up? It's Circle Sunday, and here's how to draw a circle using just a tape measure. So, go ahead, put a nail right in the center of your circle. On your tape measure, you're going to mark half your diameter of your circle, so your your radius, um, and add a quarter inch. So, in our case, we're going to do an 8-in circle, so let's do 4 and 1/4 inches on the tape measure. So, look at 4 and 1/4. So, go ahead and put your tape measure this side down, not your belt clip. If you put it on your belt clip, it's going to get all weird. So, put it on this side, lock it in there like that. Go ahead and put your Sharpie or your pencil right here, and just be quick with it. There you go, just like that, done. I know we missed some spots right here, but you all get the point, right? You could cut this out easily. So, now we go ahead and we measure, and right to there to there, that's 8 inches. Follow for more.
