Friendship Bracelet Doughnuts are barely a recipe – you just need 4 ingredients to make these. They’re so cute and easy to personalize – perfect for a Taylor Swift or Eras Tour party!

Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste these donuts! I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and You’re on Your Own Kid is my favorite song. Of course, she mentioned friendship bracelets in it and the world lost their minds – bead kits and bracelets and bracelet themed foods are everywhere. These doughnuts are the perfect semi-homemade treat for any Taylor Swift Party or because you’re watching the Eras Tour (again).
Ingredients Needed
- Doughnuts – use your favorite store-bought kind or even Krispie Kreme or any doughnut.
- Smarties – these candies are going to be the letter beads for our bracelets.
- Sprinkles – some sort of shaped sprinkles or large pearl sprinkles to represent the beads.
- Food Writer Marker – these are found on Amazon and at craft stores. They’re edible ink – do not use a regular pen.
Doughnut Ideas
- Store bought doughnuts are perfect, or even from your favorite shop.
- Baked Chocolate Donuts are delish
- Even Baked Peanut Butter Donuts are fantastic!

How to make Friendship Bracelet Doughnuts
- Place your doughnuts on a serving platter.
- Use the marker to write one letter or number on each Smartie.
- Place the beads on the doughnut. They won’t stick – press lightly to set into the top of the donut.

Expert Tips
- If you want the beads to stick and not fall off, use a bit of extra frosting on the back of each. I didn’t because doughnuts definitely don’t need more frosting!
- Have fun with these – they’re also a great party activity for kids!
- Find the food writer pens on Amazon, Walmart, or craft stores like Michaels.
- Store leftover doughnuts in an airtight container.
