Now what to do with all these beautiful little circles?

You can scan them and if you are familiar with a graphic program like Photoshop you can recolor them and add a different background like I did.

But you can also just use your original drawings, cut or punch them, and use them for gifts and decorations.

1. They make beautiful embellishments for gift packaging. You can just use the spirograph circle, punch a hole in it and fix it on your gift with a ribbon. Or you can get creative and combine them with bigger gift tags and other pieces you have at hand. My favorite is the one with crown and wings.

2. You can cut them and add little hangers and use them as ornaments

3. You can cut a circle from the center and a slit and you’ve got beautiful glass markers for your next party.

4. You can cut label shaped pieces and make very special book plates for your notes and diaries.

5. You can print or copy them on self adhesive paper, then cut circles and other shapes and you’ve got pretty and very handy stickers and seals.

Have fun!

Pattern made with the new 45 wheel.

The people at Kahootz Toys, the company that’s bringing back Spirograph, found my website. Guess it was just a matter of time.

Anyway, they – well, a friendly person named Colleen, actually – noticed what I said about my wheel 45 in my new Spirograph Deluxe Design Kit – its Hole #1 is so close to the edge that it isn’t round, and can’t be used. She sent me a new one in the mail!

She also thanked me for my feedback generally, and said that they are interested in what customers have to say.

So here’s a link to their Facebook page. Please give them a Like and enjoy their posts and ideas of things to do with Spirograph.

Nice sticker on the back of the letter

And oh yes – check out the sticker on the back of the envelope I got from Kahootz. Nice, eh? I wonder where to get some of those!
