How to Draw a Zeppole
Draw a zeppole in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the bag.
Step 1: The bag
Start at the top left. Draw a big wide bag down, across the bottom and up to the top right.
Tip Zeppole are little Italian fried dough puffs, shaken in a bag of powdered sugar.
Step 2: Folded top
Across the top of the bag draw a folded band, just as wide as the bag.
Step 3: First puff
Draw a big round dough puff poking up out of the band, left of the middle. Stop at the band.
Step 4: More puffs
Add a smaller puff on the right, one higher behind both, and a small one left, all heaped up.
Step 5: Fallen puff
At the right of the bag, level with its bottom, draw 1 more round puff lying on its own.
Step 6: Powdered sugar
Across the top of each puff draw a bumpy line from side to side, for powdered sugar.
Step 7: A stripe
Across the bag draw 1 line from its left edge to its right edge, a little below the middle.
Step 8: The table
Draw a long table line under the bag and the fallen puff, just touching their bottoms.
Step 9: Cream bag
Go over your lines, then colour the folded band and the bag above its stripe cream.
Step 10: Tan puffs
Colour the puffs tan below the sugar lines. Leave the sugar white.
Step 11: Red bottom
Colour the bag below its stripe red, and your zeppole are done!
