Step 1: Use the bowl to trace circles onto the tan felt. Repeat as many times as needed to use up all the felt and cut out each circle. Ideally, you’ll want 6-8 for a small garland.

Step 2: Use them as templates to trace circles onto the pink felt as well. Then make squiggly lines all the way around, slightly smaller than the circles. This makes the “frosting.” Cut them all out so that they fit on top of the tan circles.

Step 3: Use another, smaller item to trace small circles in the center of each circle. Do the same with the pink felt and cut.

Step 4: Glue the pink felt onto the tan felt with the heated glue gun.

Step 6: Turn over each donut and arrange them about 2-3 inches away from each other. Glue the string to the back of the donuts all the way across, leaving excess inches of string at either end. For best results, glue down the string, then add glue on top of it.
