HOWEVER. Please take a moment to measure the diameter of the toilet paper rolls you are using. I&#8217;ve only tested what is available to me in Canada but I&#8217;m not sure what is being used in other countries and if the rolls are the same. (It should be 4.2cm in diameter.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are many layers in this file.<\/strong> They are sorted like this: Numbers group, Circle group x2, Background layer x2. Each circle group needs to go with one background layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weld<\/strong> the group of numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weld<\/strong> each group of circles. This will create 1 layer instead of a grouping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set one group of circles to <strong>&#8220;Perf&#8221;<\/strong> and one group of circles to <strong>&#8220;draw&#8221;<\/strong> in the linetype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need a Cricut Maker machine to use the perforation function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can try to leave the perf layer as cut and cut this out with less pressure so it doesn&#8217;t fully puncture the paper. It will not be as clean when you punch them out but it should work in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Attach <\/strong>one group of circles to each of the background layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"622\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1-1024x622.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1-1024x622.png 1024w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1-768x466.png 768w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1-600x364.png 600w, https:\/\/pocketwonders.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/12-s1.png 1176w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 2: CUT IT OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the prompts to cut it out.
