- Fiskars circle cutting tool

- This template
Step 1: Print out the two page template onto cardstock. The first page I printed onto white. The second, onto kraft.
Step 2: Set the cutting tool to cut a 3" circle by sliding the arm until the 3" mark is centered. Align and place cutting tool over the larger circle graphics. Press down on the orange stabilizer with your palm and use your other hand to slowly rotate the tool, making a complete circle to cut out the design. Alternatively, you can use scissors or a 3" circle punch. Repeat with the remaining badges, using the 2" setting for the smaller circles.
Step 3 (optional): To gussy up the badges a bit, add a decorative tab through which the safety pin passes through. Start by cutting a 1/2" strip out of kraft cardstock or a brown paper bag.
Step 4: Fold in about 1/2", then cut. With scissors, then make a notch on one side.
Step 5: Affix to the top of the badge with glue stick.
Step 6: Punch out a small hole in the tab for a safety pin to pass through.
