Supplies for DIY Donut Ornament

Paint the Foam Ball

To create the base of your donut ornament, start by painting the foam ball with a light tan or brown color. This will be the color of the donut itself.

Once the base coat is dry, use your acrylic paints to create colorful frosting and sprinkles on top of the donut. Get creative with different colors and patterns to make each donut unique!

After you've finished painting the donut, let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Painting the Donut

Add a Glossy Finish

To give your donut ornament a delicious-looking shine, apply a coat of clear varnish over the painted surface. This will also help protect your ornament and make it last for many holiday seasons to come.

Allow the varnish to dry completely before attaching the ribbon or string to hang your ornament.

Hang Your Donut Ornament

Now that your donut ornament is complete, it's time to hang it on your tree!

Take a piece of ribbon or string and create a loop. Attach it to the top of the ornament, making sure it's secure.

Find the perfect spot on your tree to display your tasty-looking donut ornament. Don't be surprised if it becomes the highlight of your holiday decorations!
