I started by making a prototype with the materials I planned
to use. The results were good, with the exception of using an
acrylic strip as a roundel liner. I decided cardstock paper would
work better.
As an experiment, I tried filling the roundel gap with
expanding foam, then trimming it back to fit the roundel.
Eventually, I decided that approach was too much work and would be
too expensive.

The roundel closet doors are constructed from 30" primed
hollow core doors. The doors turned out to be not as hollow as I
expected, containing glued-in cardboard spacers. I used the router
to cut 18" circles from the front of the doors only, leaving the
back panel intact. Then I cut strips from cardstock paper for the
roundel lining. The cardstock wasn't long enough, so I had to
splice two pieces together.
