Make a Compass
1. Cut a piece of cardboard to the size of your desired compass shape.
2. Draw a line on one side of the card that is at least 1/4 inch thick and long enough to extend from one end of the compass to the other.
3. Cut out the center area with scissors or an X-Acto knife.
4. Use a ruler to draw two lines perpendicular to the first line, each about 1/8 inch apart.
5. Use a pen or pencil to connect the four corners together, forming a square.
6. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend the sides of the compass so they are even and straight.
7. Glue the compass onto a magnetized base for easy use.
