Tutorial: Felt donut softie or pincushion

Did you know that today is National Donut Day? I never knew such a holiday existed! But Katie from Punk Projects is in the know, and she celebrates National Donut Day with a tutorial showing how to make a softie donut out of felt. How cute is that! It would be a fun addition to a child’s play kitchen, or keep it for yourself and use it as a pincushion. Get the tutorial.
