Crop circles to be very intricate formations, with many shapes linked in sophisticated . But the basics of crop-circle and the tools involved are actually fairly .
In general, circle makers follow the following :
The steps have been jumbled. Put them in the correct order.
Once they arrive at the field, they use ropes and poles to measure out the circle.
The team makes the radius of the circle using a long piece of rope tied at both ends to an approximately 4-foot-long board called a stalk stomper (a garden roller can also be used). One member of the team stands at the centre of the circle while the other walks around the edge of the circle, putting one foot in the middle of the board to stomp down the circle's outline.
Create a diagram of the design (although some circle makers decide to come up with an idea spontaneously when they arrive at their intended site).
Choose a location.
One circle maker stands in the middle of the proposed circle and turns on one foot while pushing the crop down with the other foot to make a centre.
