Throwing a party for a bunch of middle school girls? I’m sharing an Easy Donut Craft tutorial today that the girls will love to make!
This is a simple Notebook Cover Idea that is both a paper craft and felt craft. I’ve previously made Unicorn Notebook Covers which were a hit with my kids and we wanted to try something new today.
DIY DONUT CRAFT TUTORIAL:
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: For my party donut craft, I purchased a bunch of composition notebooks for the girls to alter the covers of. The rest of the supplies I already had at home- colorful cardstock, glue, scissors, felt sheets, and some puffy texture paints.
Step 1: Apply glue to the notebook cover front, and place a sheet of cardstock (in any color you want) onto the notebook aligning it straight along the spine. Then using a sharp pair of scissors, trim off the excess overhang of cardstock.
Step 2: Onto another sheet of cardstock trace or draw a circle shape. Cut out this circle shape with a sharp pair of scissors. Next, cut out the frosting shape from a sheet of craft felt. Fold and mark a smaller inner circle and cut it out.
This is the most fun part for the girls- picking and choosing paper colors, felt colors, and getting to cut and paste everything of their choice.

Step 3: Using a strong tacky glue adhere everything into place and decorate the notebook covers to make cute kawaii donut faces.
This Donut craft idea is easy and doable by even those who do not think themselves to be crafty 😉
Step 4: To finish off our Party Donut Craft Notebooks, we attached a small white label to each notebook, somewhere the girls could write their name or subject.
Now, all we need to do is let the notebook covers dry! Let me know in the comments what you think of this party craft idea friends!
