Use the ruler to measure the size of the circle you want - this will be a line all the way across the whole circle. Then, measure a piece of string with the ruler -- make this half the size of the original line.

Use a thumbtack to tack the string in the spot you want the middle of your circle. Use a bit of tape to tape the other end onto your pencil (don't wrap it around or you will end up with a smaller circle!) Gently move the pencil around the thumbtack to make your circle.
