    In a pinch, you can take your dividers and set them at just slightly
    more than half the width of the circle (i.e., the radius.) 

    Put one point at the circumference and use the divider to scribe an
    arc through the middle of the disc. Do this at a couple of more times
    at other points on the circumference (the rim of the disc.) 

    the arcs will draw a shape around the center (a little triangle, if
    you did three arcs) in the middle of which will be the center of the
    circle.
