Compass & scissors?

[ModelManTom]

@BlowDevilUp I had no compass available. Scissor cutting would have been a little wobbly.  There are compass blade, but again, don't have one.

I would have used an old-fashioned drawing compass from a school stationary set, and just drawn a circle on the backing paper. Then tried hand-cutting along the pencil line afterwards...? Just my 2-cents-worth?

Necessity is the mother of invention! good job! :)

Use a ruler to measure the floor then divided in half to get the center. Cutting the mask, cut lightly, then use a scissor cut. You then would not waste so much.
