As I was searching the wonderful internet for a download-able color wheel template, I could not find any to my liking. This was a dilemma as color theory is approaching next quarter, and I was hoping to find an attractive template for them to fill. If you've discovered this to be true (although tastes vary, but I do enjoy my newly crafted color wheel), join me in creating a color wheel.

Supplies:
Color Wheel Template
Old magazines
Scissors
Scrap paper (for tracing)

Step 1: Print off your color wheel.
Step 2: Label, label, label! It reading like this top to the right: red, red orange, orange, yellow orange, yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, blue, blue violet, violet, red violet. (I wrote inside the circles)
Step 3: Start searching those magazines! I found all but three colors in one magazine, the blue violet, violet, and red violet took a third magazine.

Step 5: Assemble on your color wheel, and glue in place!
Step 6: Use the medium set of circles for tints of the color above (tint: color plus white/a lighter version)
Step 7: Use the smallest set of circles for shades of the color above (shade: color plus black/a darker version)
