First trace your circle onto your cardboard. I used a quarter for mine, but any size circle will work.
Cutting

Now you can cut out the counters out.
Finished!

Now you are finished! You can decorate the counters any way you want to. I put a line through the center of mine and put plus signs on either side. I drew the number that I needed added with pencil so that I can always erase it if I need to.
