Common questions
How do you cut clean holes in the cheese?
Fold the felt and cut half-circles along the fold, then unfold for perfect circles. Small scissors beat big ones for the curves.
What if we cannot find a burgundy shirt?
A dark red shirt works. The wine glass felt carries the costume either way.
