Draw diagonals and measure distance from corner to center with strip of paper or tag board, lay this out from each corner along adjacent sides as shown for one corner in the drawing, connect the points as indicated, cut off corners.

d. Decoration by means of border lines or simple center pattern may be added.

If compasses be available, the octagon may be laid out more easily by swinging the distances from the corner with them.
