Call them circles, call them dots, use a hole punch, use a template, draw them, scribble them, paint them, collage them. This is all about circles and how we make use of them.
Apologies if this has been answered before but what circle cutters do people find most useful? I go through circle cutters at a rate of two a year or so. The ones at Michael's and Hobby Lobby are not built to last. Are they the only alternative?
Yes, I have four of those hole punches up to the 2" size but I'm wondering if anyone has a better way to make the larger holes. I've gone through three of the kind that Hobby Lobby sells. Frankly, they're not built for the long haul. And even more frankly, it annoys me that the assumption behind these crappy tools is that the user isn't in it for the long haul either. In other words, there is a condescension built into the product, ie this is all the scrapbookers deserve. (use whiny old white guy voice here).

Just one little circle punch here...since 2014, sent to me by Heleen.
It makes hundreds and hundreds of 1 inch (2.5 cm) diam circles annually,
(it makes holes, too :-)

I've eaten my way of the box but a perfect circle is still beyond me.
