Wrap the styrofoam cone in Saran Wrap and trim off any extra on the bottom with scissors. Stick one toothpick in each donut hole.

Insert any remaining festive craft sticks into the bouquet. Transfer arrangement to tissue paper; wrap, and tie with a ribbon.

Grab a smaller circular object (a bowl, for example) and trace it in the middle of your larger circle—this will be the donut hole. Cut it out with an X-Acto knife, then place the larger circle (now donut-shaped) on top of the other circle. Trace the inner circle and cut it out of both larger circles.

The hive is simply constructed of three donuts stacked on top of one another and drizzled with a glaze made from powdered sugar, water, and yellow food coloring. The glaze helps to hold the bees on the donuts. I also used a bit of the glaze as “glue” to hold the wings on the bees.
