We carry side drilled donuts on this page. All have the normal big hole in the middle (which makes it a donut!), but they also have a small hole that goes all the way through the flat of the donut. This allows lots of wonderful construction techniques! The donuts can be strung horizontally on a necklace or bracelet. Beads can be strung in the center donut hole for a cool effect. Try this with two donuts and make a quick pair of earrings.
