Make Doughnut Paper Bracelets

Did you know that National Doughnut (or Donut) Day falls on the 2nd of June every year in the United States. The history of this day celebrating these wonderfully delicious fluffy sweet snacks dates back to World War One. It is said that the provision of doughnuts to frontline soldiers fighting the war in France were a huge respite from the sadness and violence on the battle fields. The tradition continued after the war to provide those in need during the Great Depression and helped to raise fund for the Salvation Army in Chicago.
