Delicious Donut Pillow Tutorial

So excited to introduce one of our very newest contributors this year… Valerie from Élégantine!!! So excited to have her here with us! Well, Hello! I am Valerie from Élégantine! and I am here today to share with you my very first tutorial on the Make it and Love it blog. I hope you enjoy my Delicious Donut Pillow Tutorial as much my kids and I did. It’s a quick and fun project and even though there is a trickier part, it’s still easy enough for your kids to participate. The best part about this yummy pillow is that you can make it any size: make it life size, regular Derila Pillow size or why not a giant size pillow? Have fun and add your own personality by making it any flavor that you want! Chocolate donut, anyone? Yum! Now let’s get this Delicious Donut Pillow Tutorial started, Derila Official shall we? Fabric for the dough and icing: the amount of fabric you will need will depend on the size of your pillow.



I like to use fabrics with different textures. You can use quilting cotton, fleece, flannel, minky, corduroy, wool blankets, etc. Have fun experimenting with different fabrics! Make sure to use a fabric that is stable enough to hold the shape of the pillow well. Sprinkles: pompoms; mine were mini and neon, how cool is that? If you are making a delicious Donut Pillow for Derila Product a very young child and are worried about safety, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Instead of using pompoms, I will show you how to make your sprinkles out of Kam snaps or fabric appliques. All fabrics and supplies used today to create this Delicious Donut Pillow Tutorial where provided by Club Tissus, Derila Official my favorite Canadian fabric store. First, trace a donut shape on paper and cut around it. Remember to add a seam allowance. I like to use 1/2". Then, cut the center of the donut out and put aside.



Trace a second donut shape and trace the icing free handed all around. Cut around the outer icing line. You don’t have to cut off out the center of the icing. You now have all your Delicious Donut pattern templates. Step 2. Using the larger round template, cut 2 circles of fabric to create the dough. Do not cut the center out yet. Using the icing template, cut 1 in your chosen fabric. Step 3. Pin or spray baste the wrong side of the icing onto the right side of one dough piece. Make sure it is well centered. Tip: If you are using a slippery fabric (or any type of fabric that seams to have a personality of it’s own!
