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.

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