Well, then I decided to finally make the post today... not sure if it's really something useful, but I try to... XD
First, I made a round box, using the Papier Colle technique. Set it dry completely and then measured the diameter. This made, there's the need to cut it in whatever you'll use to cover. I"m making it with felt, as it doesn't need to have a lot of knowledge or ability to work with.
The big problem working with felt or some other kinds of cloth is to transfer the circle to it and cut. You can print, but make the print size match your box can be tricky. Then you can use a compass, but, working with felt a compass isn't the best thing to do... LOL
I'll show you a little trick I always use to make circles. It's fail proof, you don't need a compass or tons of math to calculate anything... *obviously, because Eri-fail is the worst in maths*.
With the diameter you need, cut a stripe of paper. Or plastic, cardboard, carton, anything you have at hand.
This simple. With something soft as a base, like cardboard, high density foam, or polystyrene foam, fold the paper stripe in half and fix it with a pin.
Then all you need to do is pick a chalk, pen, pencil or what you have at hand, and trace the circle, using both extremes of the stripe.
Tracing both at the same time, you'll make half circle with one ending and half with another. This allow to make ANY size of circle, you just need to know the diameter you need.
Easy-peasy. Cut it and *drumroll* there's your circle... LOL
