If it is the ones with the hole in the middle then I would just bend some appropriate sized wire. This way you could also have someone shown who has taken a bit out of it too

Just don't make a complete circle. Shape it like a "C" and paint it appropriately.

Here is a thought, realy small O-rings. I have used these for 1/350 scale life preservers.
You can cut out chunks to look like bites! You can find them at any hardware store.

I used to work in a hardware store for a short time. They had a huge selection in all sizes, all the way down to micro!
Any hardware store should carry them.

Cheers,

Thanks I'll check it out, Do you remember the size of the ones you used on your 350 scale ships? The ones I'll use for donuts can be bought visually

Dang, I dont have it written down. I am out now, so when I go get more I will find out. I alway got them out of the same bin, so did not notice the size. Doh! I'll write it down this time.

I think this may work. During our chemistry class, we dip a metal into a chemical. The metal then becomes rusty.

So try this.

Get an O shaped metal then dip it into water. Leave it to rust for a day or so. There you go, instant donuts.
