Tip: raise your glasses together for every photo. The toast is the costume, so commit to it.

You need

Steps

  1. Buy the felt and glue. Pull a burgundy and a yellow t-shirt from the closet.
  2. Wine: cut a wine glass shape from the white felt, bowl, stem, and base in one piece, about a foot tall.
  3. Cut a smaller burgundy felt shape for the wine inside the glass and glue it onto the white glass.
  4. Glue the finished glass centered on the burgundy t-shirt.
  5. Cheese: cut round holes from a yellow felt triangle and pin it over the yellow t-shirt. Swiss reads instantly.
  6. Safety: if cutting holes in the shirt itself, keep them small and away from the seams so the shirt holds its shape. (CPSC Halloween safety tips)
  7. Optional pro finish: raise your glasses together for every photo. The toast is the costume, so commit to it.

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.
