Adorable – Pinned this one and saved for ideas for Christmas!!
Love this idea, what a great holiday snack to set out for Santa and his elves!
These are so cute! My kids would love these so much. What I think is really awesome is that you recycled the Starbucks bottles.
To make it all edible(except for the bottle of course) you could use fruit roll ups or strips for the scarf.

This is such a good idea, we love donuts here so I know this would be a treat.
