Begin by selecting the desired location for your circle on the chosen surface (e.g., plywood). Using a hammer, drive a nail into this exact center point. This nail will serve as the pivot for your tape measure.

Goal: Secure a central pivot point for the circle

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Driving the nail into the surface to create the pivot point
  • Nail — Creating the central pivot point for the tape measure
  • Plywood — The surface on which the circle will be drawn

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.
