quickwheel does..


... although I never understood this kind of product. A pair of compassed with a scriber instead of a pencil makes any mask you want for far less of the price of those commercially available products, and you have one made in 1 minute.

I recommend avoiding commercial circle cutters. The blade is far too dull and it is difficult to hold the needle on the center point as you cut. You can pick up a circle template for a few dollars. Just take one of the wheels to your local crafts store to find the size you need. This saves you the headache of trying to cut small circles out of tape or paper.
