Mmmmm doughnuts. now the Simpson's Movie is out surely you want to make something to remind you of Springfield. This instructable shows you how you can make a really cool doughnut, just like the one on the big screen in the Simpson's MOVIE logo, using just two lightweight plastic carrier bags, some masking tape and (it goes without saying) your trusty glue gun. Frame it in a box frame or follow these instructions to turn it into a Trophy using a coffee stirrer and a disposable food tray.

This funky instructable describes a sort of modern no waiting papier mache.

Step 1: Roll up a plastic carrier bag

One great way to recycle is to reuse. What better way to reuse than to use your junk in craft projects. To make this doughnut you need two lightweight plastic carrier bags. I used two bags of different colours so that I could see the layers later when I cut the bite out of the doughnut. (you'll see later on) but you don't have to use different colours, but the plastic has to be very thin, almost like tissue.

Take the carrier bag and roll it up loosely so it's long and thin (you don't need to stretch it).

If the dark side is run by homer, it should be with doughnuts. Either way, there's yummy stuff.

How long did it take you to do this?
KaptinScarlet (author) in reply to 999592Sep 16, 2008. 4:25 PM
the D'oh nut about 90mins to 2 hours, the stand about 45mins and that included working it out, so not long really
999592 in reply to KaptinScarletSep 18, 2008. 7:09 AM
Wow thats pretty impressive
KaptinScarlet (author) in reply to 999592Sep 18, 2008. 8:28 AM
well, thx, but it's not really that impressive, I bet you could improve on it. it's not really that hard as a project, because the donut is only grocery bags wrapped in masking tape and covered in glue gun glue and quickly sprayed...
