How to make a sprinkle donut bulletin board

April 11, 2018 by Stefanie Girard

Do donuts make you smile? If so, why not make a giant donut bulletin board that will make you happy as well as keep you organized. Better yet, make two and give one to your mom for Mother’s day after all I bet mom likes pretty things that keep her notes organized. This big donut is easy to paint with Testors craft and spray paint.

The donut looks just as fun full of notes, bits of ephemera to collage with, craft supplies and even a tiny pair of scissors fit nicely in the clothes pin sprinkles.

The first step is to draw the outer circle and inner circle of the donut on a panel of drop ceiling tile. I think I paid about $4 for a 2×4 foot piece. You can make 2 donuts out of 1 panel.

Next I carefully cut out the donut shape. Again this is pretty easy as the drop ceiling tile is pretty soft. I did a bit of sanding after I cut the shape to smooth out any rough edges.

After I sketched the frosting area out on the donut it was onto the colorful part. I painted the “dough” area of the donut with Testors Craft paint in Desert Sand.

I painted the frosting area of the donut with Testors Craft paint in Petal Pink. I did 2 coats of each color.

To make the sprinkle clips I used wood clothes pins. I sanded the corners so that they were slightly rounded and would look a bit more like a sprinkle.

I painted 3 sprinkle clips in each color. I used Testors Craft spray paint in Turquoise, Concord Grape, Neon Pink, Valley Green and Mellow Yellow.

There are so many pretty colors to choose from you could use all sorts of combinations and varieties.

All that was left to do was hot glue the sprinkle clips onto the giant donut and a wire on the back to hang it up.

Thank you to Testors.com for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the “Sweet” moms out there!

Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms – A Whimsical DIY Delight

Looking to add a touch of magic to your garden? The Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms tutorial on Instructables by CrazyClever is a fantastic project that combines creativity, sustainability, and a bit of whimsy.

This DIY guide takes you through the process of transforming old chandelier glass parts into enchanting mushroom-shaped garden lights. The bell-shaped glass diffusers are perfect for this project—they naturally resemble mushroom caps, have ample openings to let sunlight charge the solar panels, and emit a soft, ambient glow rather than the harsh brightness of standard LEDs.

The stems are crafted from cement, shaped around the solar light stakes using cling wrap. This method not only gives each mushroom a unique, organic look but also ensures they are sturdy and weather-resistant. The project is designed to be loose and organic, encouraging creativity without the need for precise measurements.

  • Upcycling Techniques: Transforming old glass items into functional and decorative pieces.

  • Mushroom Crafting: Creating unique mushroom shapes using simple materials.

  • Outdoor Lighting: Incorporating solar lights into your garden décor.

If you’re looking for a fun, eco-friendly project that adds charm to your outdoor space, these upcycled glass solar garden mushrooms are a delightful choice. The tutorial is easy to follow, and the results are both practical and enchanting.
