Materials:

• Brown Paper Lunch Bags
• Scissors 
• Glue Stick
• Construction Paper
• Hole Punch
• Mod Podge
• Paint Brush

Step 1: Begin by rolling a closed paper lunch bag in a diagonal direction. Use your hands to squeeze the rolling paper bag together. 

Step 2: Open a second paper bag and use the scissors to cut down one of the side seams. Cut out and remove the bottom panel, then place the cut bag flat on the table. 

Step 3: Make a vertical cut up the bag and then a horizontal right cut to create a tab at the top. 

Step 4: Add glue along the bottom of the bag and all over the tab at the top. 

Step 5: Place the rolled bag on top of the bottom glued section. Tightly roll the two together. When you reach the top, bend the rolled paper into a doughnut shape. Wrap the tab around the seam and squeeze to seal the glue. 

Step 6: Create the icing! Trace the paper doughnut onto a piece of colored construction paper. Use scissors to cut out the shape. Measure the cutout on top of the doughnut and trim if needed. 

Step 7: Apply Mod Podge to the top of your doughnut, then place the icing on top and gently press. 

Step 8: Cover the icing with Mod Podge, using your fingers to sculpt the icing onto the doughnut. Allow it to dry.

Step 9: Once dry, apply a second coat of Mod Podge. Cover the entire doughnut surface. 

Step 10: Create sprinkles and other icing patterns using cut pieces of construction paper. Use a hole punch to create rainbow sprinkles and scissors to cut strips of icing. 

Step 11: Use Mod Podge to glue the sprinkles to the doughnut. Add a final coat of Mod Podge on top of the sprinkles and icing strips to seal.
