I think I’m more excited today than I was when I first unveiled my heart shaped templates on the blog.
Today I have a ton of different FREE printable circle templates you can print out!
What’s so cool about these is they have limitless potential.
I feel like I need circle shapes for projects about once month.
I’ve already used them in about 7 different craft projects, and I can think of about 100 other ways to use them.
Free Printable Circle Templates
I decided to make my own different sized circles because I often find myself grabbing random circular objects like a mug or plastic lid to serve as a template for craft projects.
Now I can just pull up the exact size tracing template I need instead of scrounging around for a make-do circle pattern!
These shapes are free to download and print.
Just make sure you PIN one of the images on this page (using the red Pinterest button at the top of the page) as reminder where you found these circle shapes!
You’ll be needing them over and over again!
Extra Large Circle Shape to Cut Out
Sometimes you just need a super large circle template.
This 7-inch cut out prints on a full size sheet of paper.
Just click on the image to download it in PDF format and save it to your computer:

Tiny Circle Outlines – Printable Dots
Perhaps my favorite printable of them all is this one.
It’s a set of 12 printable tiny circles with a 2″ diameter.
My friend, Saira, pointed out that these would be perfect for any project that requires polka dots or large pieces of confetti.
I’m thinking they’d be perfect for New Year’s Eve or even inside a pinata. I love them!
