Fold your paper circle in quarters, place ruler on this folded paper cut off the rounded end. Presto you now have an octagon template. Just use different sized circles for different sized octagon. I just kept cutting down my circle till I got the size I wanted. I'm real technical, not.

Octagon is 8 sided...hexagon is 6 sided...which does the circle make...not in place where I can try.....

So tell me/ us.

I wish they or someone else would do a tute on that template. Their website is very sparse, IMHO and not very informative
