My granddaughter's 3rd birthday party is themed "Pink Sprinkle Donuts". I've been asked to make donut bean bags for a game. I've sewn for 50 years but had no idea how to make a donut! Thanks so much, you're tutorial is clear and complete! I'm a new subscriber now :-)
Hello and I hope you have had a joyful day. I'm still sick but I'm so grateful to have these videos to watch and get to listen to you chat. Thank you for posting and sharing your time and talent.
Excellent tips on creating this! Thank You so much 💓 for this project- My new Great Granddaughter was born earlier this month so this is definitely something that that I will be making for her!
Thanks so much for this video. I was looking for a tutorial to sew a little pillow for my dad who is bedridden on his left side, to relieve the pressure on his ear. ❤
oh my gosh. I have been trying to find this pattern for a long time. Thank you so much. You even explain it so I can understand it. I'm a little slow. Again thank you.
Omg...I would do handstands if I could. This is is timely! I have been trying to make one for a greatgran and had yep it did not work out. Can not wait to do this. Thank you.
Made the first donut and yes I'm making the whole item from pattern, I'm left handed so had to adapt the sewing up of ring, fiddly! But pleased with end practice ring.Forgid g ahead with the real thing! Thank you😊
I'm left handed too. For some reason I forget which direction to start stitching, especially with blanket stitch, to make it easier. Been sewing since I was a kid, you'd think I'd know by now 😆c x
Beyond happy that I found your tutorial and appreciate the pattern. Thank you so much. I've wanted to make fabric rings for several little ones... This is perfect; love your voice and getting to the point (no unnecessary "fluff")... thank you again for your time and sharing your talent. Look forward to more of your educational tutorials.
@@TheCraftsChannel Understood, but I do so love your projects as, I'm sure, so many others do.... thank you again; going to make a set for my great grandson and fill the rings with the poly/styrofoam beads so he can play with them in the pool / tub.
Très bel ouvrage et jouet sans danger pour les tous petits, très intéressant, j'aime beaucoup et vais le confectionner. Merci de partager. France Basse Normandie
Thank you SO MUCH! I was looking for a tutorial or template for making rings from scrap fabric for singing bowl and tongue drum pillows and having such a hard time - this was absolutely perfect, and your explanations were wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you this is an excellent and interesting video. Had an idea for a sort of oversized chainmail fabric jacket. This helps greatly. edit: the glue trick is bloody briliant
I have a small Christmas Wreath stuffie from Jellycat and I could NOT figure out how they did it. I did a quick search and came across your video on making fabric “donuts” and now I get it! Great tutorial! I may have to try this for making a donut Minnie Ears headband!
Sorry, been away for a while but here are the full instructions, c x M&ST 13 - Baby Stacking rings You need Cotton print fabric Fibre filling Lightweight quilt wadding Stiff card 15cm square Buttons Embroidery thread Add 5mm seam allowance to pattern pieces unless stated. Trace our circle template shapes onto the wrong side of right sides together fabric squares with pencil. Before cutting out, sew around both curves leaving the straight ends unsewn. Cut out the shapes with pinking shears to leave a 5mm seam allowance. Fold over 5mm at each open end and tack before turning the rings right sides out. Stuff the rings fairly firmly from both ends. Bring the hemmed ends together and oversew with tiny stitches to close up the ring. Add more stuffing if necessary before completely closing the seam.

Great instructions, easy to follow. Can you also provide instructions for a piramid itself, with a dog/animal head? Will appreciate it, have to make this toy very soon.

I need to make a donut, as I have an ear liason. Need to take pressure off my ear when sleeping. I will hand sew the donut to my pillow, in hope it will help. I tried a travel pillow, but it wasn't right for me. So this looks perfect, for me to try. Thank you.😀
Hope it helps, or maybe make a slightly smaller one that you can add wide cotton straps to so you could tie it to your head somehow so it still works if you shift in the night? c x
Thanks for sharing! It's great! I've found the templates but can't find the additional explanations for sewing the backing. Where can I find them? Thanks again

I love this tutorial and I have made the donuts and head but cannot figure out how to attach the spike to the base 😢 Can you suggest a tutorial to watch for a newbie at making toys please 🙏
We don't have a suitable video for this but the way I did it (from memory) was to cover the base board, stuff the spike fairly full, then turn under the edges of the spike and pin to the padded side of the board at the quarter marks to make sure it was central, and then at the eighth marks, spreading the fabric out a little to form a circle. I then oversewed the edges of the spike to the base with small hand stitches, c x
Thank you for your reply. I managed to figure something out by doing almost similar to what you have suggested. The finished project turned out perfectly and I have a request to make a few more for a local nursery and friends children 😁
Hiya, I'm afraid the templates are no longer free, but the entire pattern, including the head, spike and base are available from sew-hq.myshopify.com/products/baby-stacking-rings-toy-sewing-pattern?_pos=1&_sid=c81d5acb6&_ss=r hope this helps, c x
Would the 1/5th rule apply to a slightly more oval shape as well? I'm trying to figure out plush "wedding rings" for furry costumes. I'm not sure if a perfect circle will work. Am going to try. BUT. If I end up needing a more oval shape because of the fingers, I'd love some insight before I waste materials :')
It should work, but I can't think where you'd be best to take the fifth out, whether it's from the flatter edge of the oval or the curve. In all honestly the circular ring could be squished into an oval as long as it's not too firmly stuffed. Have you got an old pillowcase or similar that you could test it on first? c x
@@TheCraftsChannelI've got some extra cotton fabric scraps I'll be testing the oval shape on before I use my shiny material! I have a pattern ready, and I'll be sure to let you know what ends up working best in terms of placement for the 1/5th rule with the oval! 🥰
@@TheCraftsChannelyes, but I never saw instructions for making the stand base, post with little pups head. My donuts are complete and they turned out pretty nice, thanks to your instruction.

I think if you draw a ring with an inner circumference of 19" and and outer of 22" and then chop a fifth out of the ring it should stitch up to the size needed, c x
No, sorry. The pattern pieces for them are in the template link and are fairly easy to make, just remember to only half stuff the head and then push the very long neck back inside the head so it can sit on the spike, c x
Thank you so much for this darling pattern. I'm expecting my first grandbaby soon and I'm 65! I've waited a long time!
With Christmas coming and a brand new grandson,this will make a great present. Thank you💜🇦🇺
Genius! And excellent presentation. No unnecessary waffle. Thank you
You are great at teaching. so calm & informative. Thank you so much

M&ST 13 - Baby Stacking rings
You need
Cotton print fabric
Fibre filling
Lightweight quilt wadding
Stiff card 15cm square
Buttons
Embroidery thread
Add 5mm seam allowance to pattern pieces unless stated.
Trace our circle template shapes onto the wrong side of right sides together fabric squares with pencil. Before cutting out, sew around both curves leaving the straight ends unsewn. Cut out the shapes with pinking shears to leave a 5mm seam allowance. Fold over 5mm at each open end and tack before turning the rings right sides out. Stuff the rings fairly firmly from both ends. Bring the hemmed ends together and oversew with tiny stitches to close up the ring. Add more stuffing if necessary before completely closing the seam.
Cut two pieces of 16cm square fabric and sew right sides together around three sides. Fold over and tack 5mm on the remaining side before turning right sides out. Slip a 15cm square of stiff card or plastic inside the pouch and add a firm layer of fibre filling on one side of the card. Pin and oversew the edges of the gap together to make a padded base.
Cut a cone piece from patterned fabric, fold in half right sides together and sew down the long seam. Fold up and tack 5mm around the base of the cone before turning out and stuffing firmly. Pin the base of the cone to the centre of the padded base and secure by oversewing the two pieces together. Add more fibre filling before completing the seam to ensure the cone stands upright.
Cut two head pieces from right sides together fabric. Stitch a dart in the top of each piece before matching up right sides together and sewing all round, leaving the straight edge at the bottom open. Clip curves and turn out. Firmly stuff the head, working well into the nose and top of the head but leaving the lower half of the head unfilled. Work your finger into the centre of the stuffing to make a well. Gather up the raw edge of the head with a small running stitch and secure. Push the gathered bottom up inside the well in the stuffing of the head so it can be slipped onto the top of the cone.
Cut two pairs of right sides together ear shapes and layer onto lightweight quilt wadding. Sew around the shapes leaving a small gap in a straight area. Turn out, fold in the raw edges of the gap and oversew closed. Stitch an ear to either side of the head, using the darts as a guide to placement. Add small buttons for eyes and stitch a triangle nose to the tip of the head with two strands of embroidery thread. Stack the rings onto the cone and top with the dog’s head to hold them in place.

Junte los extremos del dobladillo y cosa con pequeños puntos para cerrar el anillo. Agregue más relleno si es necesario antes de cerrar completamente la costura.
Corta dos trozos de tela cuadrada de 16 cm y cose los lados derechos alrededor de tres lados. Doble y vire 5 mm en el lado restante antes de girar hacia el derecho. Desliza un cuadrado de 15 cm de cartulina rígida o plástico dentro de la bolsa y agrega una capa firme de relleno de fibra en un lado de la tarjeta. Sujeta con alfileres y cose los bordes del espacio para formar una base acolchada.
Corta un trozo de cono de tela estampada, dobla por la mitad los lados derechos y cose la costura larga. Doble hacia arriba y pegue 5 mm alrededor de la base del cono antes de desmoldar y rellenar firmemente. Sujeta con alfileres la base del cono al centro de la base acolchada y asegúrala con

Apila los anillos en el cono y cubre con la cabeza del perro para mantenerlos en su lugar.

That's really cute. Thanks for doing that. I saw some doughnuts in a magazine but couldn't get it so glad to get an idea of how to do them.👍
Glad you like them! c x
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! You are a wonderful teacher and I appreciate the details without it being too overwhelming! New Subbie! :)
Thank you very much! c x
Me gusto mucho... gracias😍
Great instructions, easy to follow. Can you also provide instructions for a piramid itself, with a dog/animal head? Will appreciate it, have to make this toy very soon.
❤supergut danke
Muy bonito muy buen trabajo

Love this so much. How do you make the stacking rod?
Here are the original instructions I wrote, c x
M&ST 13 - Baby Stacking rings
You need
Cotton print fabric
Fibre filling
Lightweight quilt wadding
Stiff card 15cm square
Buttons
Embroidery thread
Add 5mm seam allowance to pattern pieces unless stated.
Trace our circle template shapes onto the wrong side of right sides together fabric squares with pencil. Before cutting out, sew around both curves leaving the straight ends unsewn. Cut out the shapes with pinking shears to leave a 5mm seam allowance. Fold over 5mm at each open end and tack before turning the rings right sides out. Stuff the rings fairly firmly from both ends. Bring the hemmed ends together and oversew with tiny stitches to close up the ring. Add more stuffing if necessary before completely closing the seam.
Cut two pieces of 16cm square fabric and sew right sides together around three sides. Fold over and tack 5mm on the remaining side before turning right sides out. Slip a 15cm square of stiff card or plastic inside the pouch and add a firm layer of fibre filling on one side of the card. Pin and oversew the edges of the gap together to make a padded base.
Cut a cone piece from patterned fabric, fold in half right sides together and sew down the long seam. Fold up and tack 5mm around the base of the cone before turning out and stuffing firmly. Pin the base of the cone to the centre of the padded base and secure by oversewing the two pieces together. Add more fibre filling before completing the seam to ensure the cone stands upright.
Cut two head pieces from right sides together fabric. Stitch a dart in the top of each piece before matching up right sides together and sewing all round, leaving the straight edge at the bottom open. Clip curves and turn out. Firmly stuff the head, working well into the nose and top of the head but leaving the lower half of the head unfilled. Work your finger into the centre of the stuffing to make a well. Gather up the raw edge of the head with a small running stitch and secure. Push the gathered bottom up inside the well in the stuffing of the head so it can be slipped onto the top of the cone.
Cut two pairs of right sides together ear shapes and layer onto lightweight quilt wadding. Sew around the shapes leaving a small gap in a straight area. Turn out, fold in the raw edges of the gap and oversew closed. Stitch an ear to either side of the head, using the darts as a guide to placement. Add small buttons for eyes and stitch a triangle nose to the tip of the head with two strands of embroidery thread. Stack the rings onto the cone and top with the dog’s head to hold them in place
Hi, Thank you for this. I want to make one for my grandson. How do you make the base? It’s not included in the pattern.
Sorry for the delay, here are the original instructions, hopefully your grandson isn't now too old...

I need to make a donut, as I have an ear liason. Need to take pressure off my ear when sleeping. I will hand sew the donut to my pillow, in hope it will help. I tried a travel pillow, but it wasn't right for me. So this looks perfect, for me to try. Thank you.😀
Hope it helps, or maybe make a slightly smaller one that you can add wide cotton straps to so you could tie it to your head somehow so it still works if you shift in the night? c x
Thanks for sharing! It's great! I've found the templates but can't find the additional explanations for sewing the backing. Where can I find them? Thanks again
They were in the magazine a few years back. Luckily, because I never throw anything away, here are my original instructions, hope they help,

I love this tutorial and I have made the donuts and head but cannot figure out how to attach the spike to the base 😢
Can you suggest a tutorial to watch for a newbie at making toys please 🙏
We don't have a suitable video for this but the way I did it (from memory) was to cover the base board, stuff the spike fairly full, then turn under the edges of the spike and pin to the padded side of the board at the quarter marks to make sure it was central, and then at the eighth marks, spreading the fabric out a little to form a circle. I then oversewed the edges of the spike to the base with small hand stitches, c x
Thank you for your reply. I managed to figure something out by doing almost similar to what you have suggested. The finished project turned out perfectly and I have a request to make a few more for a local nursery and friends children 😁
Where do the little irons come from?
The little iron is made by Prym and is called a Mini Steam Iron. A quick search online shows they're widely available in the UK, c x
I love the intro! Sadly not donuts you can eat! 😂

Hello, was looking for the link to the pattern for the baby stacking rings.
Hiya, I'm afraid the templates are no longer free, but the entire pattern, including the head, spike and base are available from

hope this helps, c x
Would the 1/5th rule apply to a slightly more oval shape as well?
I'm trying to figure out plush "wedding rings" for furry costumes. I'm not sure if a perfect circle will work. Am going to try.
BUT. If I end up needing a more oval shape because of the fingers, I'd love some insight before I waste materials :')
It should work, but I can't think where you'd be best to take the fifth out, whether it's from the flatter edge of the oval or the curve. In all honestly the circular ring could be squished into an oval as long as it's not too firmly stuffed. Have you got an old pillowcase or similar that you could test it on first? c x
@@TheCraftsChannelI've got some extra cotton fabric scraps I'll be testing the oval shape on before I use my shiny material!
I have a pattern ready, and I'll be sure to let you know what ends up working best in terms of placement for the 1/5th rule with the oval! 🥰
@@Kotori174 Thank you, that'd be great, c x

Sorry, I know the site is undergoing some maintenance. Have you been able to access it now? c x
@@TheCraftsChannelyes, but I never saw instructions for making the stand base, post with little pups head. My donuts are complete and they turned out pretty nice, thanks to your instruction.

Great video love it.
Help. How do I make a pattern if my inner circumference is 15" + 2.5" for the outer. I'm trying to make a "sonic (the hedgehog) ring" for a coatume.
I think if you draw a ring with an inner circumference of 19" and and outer of 22" and then chop a fifth out of the ring it should stitch up to the size needed, c x

How to make the head and spike is there a video for them
No, sorry. The pattern pieces for them are in the template link and are fairly easy to make, just remember to only half stuff the head and then push the very long neck back inside the head so it can sit on the spike, c x
