Whether it’s “doughnuts” or “donuts” they are all the same, especially when it comes to pillows. Make these DIY donut pillows for adorable accents around your home. Read on!
We’re not going to ask you why you want to make donut pillows. Maybe it’s for your kids, maybe it’s for your inner child. It’s a fun project to tackle, indeed! It’s actually easier than you may think (that hole in the pillow looks intimidating to sew) – some of these ideas are even no-sew!
So grab yourself a yard of your favorite fabric (it will make a 30×30 inch pillow – for a 20×20 inch pillow take 3/4 yard of fabric), some stuffing, and let’s get to it. You’ll find that some of these creative ideas use repurposed materials (such as lonely socks!) which is all the more fun.
There are a few ways to make a DIY donut pillow too:
- Using a cutout for the donut shape and the frosting. And then sewing it.
- Cutting the fabric and using a hot glue gun to put it together.
- Using old socks (for mini pillows).
Here are all of our favorite ways to make these accent pillows.
