Helix Angle and Circle Maker with Integrated Circle Templates, 360 Degree, 6 Inch / 15cm, Assorted Colors (36002)

The Helix Angle and Circle Maker is a simple but clever tool to use to draw circles. For years, I've relied on tracing various objects or subjecting my journals to the pointed end of a protractor in order to achieve the perfect circle. This handy little circle maker consists of a ring with a movable center plastic piece. To use, you simply place your pencil or pen in one of the little holes in the plastic piece then draw where the plastic piece guides you. You can also use the precut circles to trace smaller circles. The center guide moves fairly smoothly, but does require a firm hand so that the circles come out neatly. I would not recommend using this device with very thin tipped pens. I used a Micron 03 pen with this circle maker, but I wouldn't go any thinner than that.While this circle maker did work with my Leuchttum 1917 Bullet Journal, I will warn you that it does take a steady hand to use since there is a book gutter to deal with. While these journals do lay quite flat, I did have some issues with getting it to lay flat enough so that the inner circle would work smoothly. On completely flat surfaces, the circle maker had no issues. Overall, this is a useful tool if you're looking to add circles to some of your artwork.

Make sure it's flat on paper when using so it doesn't pop off alignment and u be fine.

It looks a bit delicate, but is handy to use and perfect for designing Mandalas. I like it.

I love to bible journal, verse map, and doodle. This is a great tool to add to my arsenal.

Smooth rotation and sturdy construction

The media could not be loaded. This is a fun little stencil for this bullet journal junkie.Pro's: I love how each circle fits perfectly within the next size up. Each one is exactly a half-beat larger than the last. The outer green part you hold still (Mine is blue..) and the dots also make perfect concentric circles. Overall- this little guy is totally worth the price. I also like the line-making part. It is all very well thought out and very handy.Con's: It can be tricky to turn it. I think it just takes practice. You also need a very flat surface. No lap journaling or lap designing for this little guy. Also the smallest circles actually take some real strength to get the stencil turning. and at times it turns in a jerky motion- because it catches, and halts here and there.

My new favorite circle maker. I font gave to have a multitude of separate sized circles. I only need it for smaller circles

So disappointed! It has a lot of drag and catching, doesn't spin well, impossible to use on the holes closer to the center. Great concept but poor execution! Money would be better spent on a package of templates.
