Circle Grid Template
This template fills the page with rows of identical circles. Illustrators use it to practice drawing faces, eyes and round objects, crafters use it to cut out buttons, stickers and labels, and teachers use it for fraction circles and counting games. Change the circle size and spacing to fit the job, from tiny eye sketches to large coaster patterns.
Preview of page 1. 215.9 mm × 279.4 mm. Print at 100% (“Actual size”) to keep the spacing exact.
What people use it for
- Drawing practice for eyes, faces and round icons
- Cutting templates for buttons, badges and round stickers
- Fraction and pie chart worksheets
- Doodle and mandala starting points
- Designs for coasters, cookies and cake toppers
Tips for circle grid
- Measure the object you need first, such as a 1 in (25.4 mm) button or a 2 in sticker, and set the size so the printout matches exactly.
- Leave a few millimetres between circles if you plan to cut them out, so scissors and punches have room.
- For drawing practice use thin, light outlines and draw inside them, then erase or ignore the guide.
- Print a test page on plain paper before using sticker sheets or card stock, and check one circle with a ruler.
Printing tip: in the print dialog choose Actual size or 100%, not “Fit to page”, or the spacing shrinks slightly. How we keep sizes exact.
Questions
How do I get circles of an exact size?
Enter the size in millimetres or inches and print at 100% scale with Fit to page turned off. Measure one circle after printing to confirm.
Can I use this for round sticker labels?
Yes, if the circle size and spacing match your label sheet. Measure the label sheet carefully and test on plain paper held against the sheet up to a window.
Is this good for drawing eyes and faces?
Circle grids are a common warm-up for character artists: each circle becomes a different expression or eye shape, which builds consistency across many attempts.
Can I export it for a cutting machine?
Download the SVG. Cutting machine software can import it, and the circles keep their real size.
