Decor, activity and snack, all in one—we love a good piñata. No matter how old your or your guests are, this donut piñata is pretty much a guaranteed hit. So grab your tissue paper and scissors and let's get crafting!
Step 1: Start by tracing a large, everyday circular object on a piece of cardboard. We used a lamp shade. Trace a second one so your donut has a front and back side. Grab a smaller circular object (a bowl, for example) and trace it in the middle of your larger circle—this will be the donut hole. Cut it out with an X-Acto knife, then place the larger circle (now donut-shaped) on top of the other circle. Trace the inner circle and cut it out of both larger circles. This will ensure that your donut holes match up. You should now have two identical cardboard donuts.
Step 2: Next we’ll create the sides using craft paper. You can also do this with cardboard, but craft paper is easier to work with when creating rounded sides. Measure your donut hole by placing the craft paper inside. Cut the paper to size and then tape it into a column that fits the donut hole. Stick this column into the hole, then snip 1-inch sections about two inches apart all the way around the top edge of the column. Fold the sections down onto the cardboard and tape them down.
Step 3: Follow the same process to create the outer edge of the donut. This time, cut your 1-inch sections before you tape the craft paper into a column. Wrap it around the cardboard donut, fold down your 1-inch sections and tape them in place. Flip your donut over and trim the top edge of the outer column of craft paper so that it is level with the center column.
Step 4: Before we add the other side of the donut, we need to cut a trap door in the side of the donut by making three slices with your X-Acto knife. This is where you will add treats, so make sure it’s big enough for your candy to fit inside! Fold the door back to open it.
Next cut a long piece of string or rope. Poke a hole in the outer column of craft paper and then in the inner column as well. Thread your string through both holes, then tie a few knots at the bottom to secure it. Cut 1-inch sections on the outer and inner columns of craft paper. Then place the back side of the donut on top, filing the center column through the hole and ensuring the 1-inch sections on the outer column are not folded under the cardboard. Fold the sections over the back side and tape them in place.
You’re halfway there! Time for some color, wouldn’t you say?
Step 5: Cut fringe out of your tissue paper. This part will serve as the base of the donut (the dough in donut), so keep that in mind when choosing a color. Layer your tissue paper and cut long strips, then make small snips on one edge to create fringe. You’re going to need a ton, so make yourself a nice big pile. To adhere your fringe, squeeze a thin line of school glue along the top edge.
Step 6: Starting from the outer edge of the donut, layer each section of fringe on top of the next, allowing the bottom edge of fringe to show. Once you’ve worked your way around the donut, glue longer pieces of tissue paper on the back side of the donut and wrap them into the hole to cover the back and middle sections. No need to cover the front; you’ll be adding frosting and sprinkles, so it doesn’t need fringe. Don’t forget to keep the trap door open! Add your fringe around the door so you can actually stuff this little guy.
Step 7: Last part! For the frosting, place your crepe paper on top of the donut and cut out a circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect — it’s frosting, after all! Adhere it to the donut with hot glue, then add sprinkles to the top. If you don’t want to add real sprinkles, cut some jimmies out of paper.
There you have it!
Filling this donut with real donuts might make a giant mess, but we think it would be adorable to put donut holes in clear goody bags and stuff those inside.

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
