Amy Dong, a seventh-grader at Phillips Middle School, made doughnut pincushions that are now on display in a pastry box at Krispy Kreme on East Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.
The pincushions were made from pieces of felt with a sewing technique called stitching on a curve. Dong used felt and yarn to make the icing appliqué and sewed on decorative beads to imitate sprinkles.
