Ingredients
Scale
- 30 to 40 standard-sized glazed yeast donuts (about 3.5 inches / 9 cm diameter)
- Donut wall board (sturdy foam board or plywood panel, around 24 x 36 inches)
- Wooden pegs or dowels (3/8 inch diameter, cut into 2-inch lengths)
- Strong adhesive or glue gun
- Paint or wrapping paper (optional, for decorating the board background)
- Hooks or hanging hardware
- Decorative accents such as fresh flowers, greenery, or a custom banner
Instructions
- Prepare your board by painting or wrapping your foam board or plywood with decorative paper. Let it dry completely.
- Mark peg placement using a pencil and measuring tape, drawing a grid of evenly spaced dots about 3 inches apart.
- Drill holes or puncture foam at each marked spot to fit wooden pegs snugly.
- Insert wooden pegs into each hole and secure them with hot glue or wood adhesive. Hold each peg steady until it sticks well.
- Let the glue dry completely for about 30 minutes to ensure sturdiness.
- Attach hooks or stands to keep the board upright and stable.
- Arrange the glazed donuts by slipping each onto a peg, adjusting peg length or spacing if donuts feel loose.
Notes
Set up the donut wall a few hours before the party to keep donuts fresh and glaze shiny. If preparing a day ahead, cover loosely with plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry place. Test peg lengths before gluing to ensure donuts fit securely. Use fresh donuts for best appearance and taste. Decorate after donuts are placed to avoid knocking them off.
