Delicious Felt Donuts

I have for sale here a set of little handmade felt donuts. They come in a set of three delicious toppings: pink, white and chocolate and would be wonderful as a quirky display in a kitchen or dining room.


The donuts are individually hand stitched and topped with little sparkly beady sprinkles in pink and brown. A lot of care and attention has gone into making these, and they are a lovely little set, and would make a great gift. I must stress these are not intended to be used as a toy because of the small beads.



As you can see the main part of the donut is a pale brown felt, topped with three different coloured felt 'icing' and beady sprinkles.

'Yummy Chocolate'


'Pretty Pink'


and 'Original White'




The will come to you piled up and tied with a pretty ribbon and wrapped in tissue paper.
Each donut measures approximately 8cm (3inches) in diameter.

Good enough to eat!




If you would like to order this SET OF THREE felt donuts the cost is:
£9 for the set plus £1 postage and packaging.

Please email me at rosesandgingham@hotmail.co.uk

This is the only set I currently have, but if you would like to order a custom made set in a specific colourway (e.g. all chocolate) or order fewer or more please email me at the above address.
