so i think i'm going to go the draw a big circle on paper and fold it route and see what i get... i'm scouting our offices for a big sheet of paper off of the flip boards lol.

make a square of newspaper any size. Similiar to other posts. 2 right angle or L edges are 90 degrees. Fold bottom edge to linear edge for 45 degree angle, fold again for 30 degree. Saw this method on Ricky tims show a couple of years ago, works very well for making a star. for smaller angle adjust folds. check with protractor. Folding circle also works
Good luck.

Forgot to add newspaper makes for very cheap templates, for more sturdy template use freezer paper.

Remember that a circle is 360 degrees, so if you want a 9 degree ruler, you will need to carefully fold your circle into 40 sections (360 / 9 = 40). The sections will need to be folded accurately or your block will not sew together correctly. Again, for these very narrow angles, you might be better off purchasing a specialty ruler.
The folded paper method works great for larger angles, such as 90, 45, 30, 22.5.

When I worked at a DoIt Center, I cut plexiglass templates quite often. We did not charge for this service.

I made my own... I got the width measurements from someone on this site that had one... then I put several layers of freezer paper together and made my own... no protractor here... seemed to work just time....

What and where are DoIt Centers. I had a circle cut out of plexi by a local glass/screen shop....the circle wasn't more than 6"diameter and they charged me $35.00! Never again them......not even to repair glass/screen,

In my opinion, it's completely worth the money to purchase the ruler, lol!
