What will be needed for manufacturing?
A decorative pillow is a wonderful piece of decor, and it’s not difficult to make it yourself. In order to sew such a thing, you need the following:
- Felt or fleece fabric. You will need 1 meter in beige tone and 0.5 meter of fabric in lilac, pink, blue or yellow - it depends on your taste or the wishes of the child.
- You will also need small pieces of the same fabric in bright colors (it is advisable to opt for fabric of white, red and orange colors).
- In this process, one cannot do without a sewing machine and threads, which should have the same color as the main fabric.
- Prepare pins (they are needed in order to fix the parts of the product), as well as a pencil and scissors.
- In order for the pillow to be round rather than oval, look in your inventory for an item that can serve as a template for a future product (it can be a bowl, pan or bucket).
- As a filler of the future pillow, it is necessary to use a special synthetic material for stuffing.

Sewing step by step instructions
If you do not know how to make a donut pillow, then you should carefully study the main stages of its creation. The sequence of manufacture of such a product is as follows:
- To get started, take a meter of beige felt fabric and fold it with the front side inward.
- Next, draw two circles with a pencil: one is bigger, and the second is smaller inside the big circle.
- Now on the outside of the big circle and on the inside, add 0.5 cm (for allowances).
- Scissor out the outlined parts.
- Since our product will look like a donut, and it is often “glazed”, from a blue fabric (or another one you have chosen), also cut a circle whose diameter will match the size of your beige circle.
- Now outline the so-called “glaze” line, while remembering to step back from the outer edges of the large circle.
- Cut with scissors on the intended line.
- To make a “sprinkle,” use the remains of brightly colored fabrics. From them, make small pieces of different shapes - squares, stripes, circles.
- Fix these pieces on the “glaze” with pins or bind them with thread ().
- Fasten the “Glaze” with the same pin or sweep to the front part of one of the beige circles.
- After the preparatory stage for the manufacture of a cute little thing is completed, proceed to the main process - assembling the pillow.
- Stitch all the previously prepared pieces to each other: connect the “powder” with the “icing”, and stitch the icing to one side of the (front) pillow.
- Next, fold both beige circles face up and sew in a zigzag pattern on the sewing machine.
Important! Leave about 10 cm of this seam unfinished - this hole will be required for filling.
- Fill the donut with the prepared synthetic filler and sew the seam to the end.
