A burgundy wine-glass tunic for one, a yellow cheese wedge with holes for the other. The holes are the cheese, obviously. About twenty-five minutes, easy: a burgundy or maroon t-shirt, a yellow t-shirt, and white felt. Cut the holes as circles, not slits; slits read as damage.

Steps
- Buy the felt and glue.
- Pull a burgundy and a yellow t-shirt from the closet.
- Wine: cut a wine glass shape from the white felt, about a foot tall.
- Cut the bowl, stem, and base in one piece.
- Cut a smaller burgundy felt shape for the wine inside the glass.
- Glue it onto the white glass.
- Glue the finished glass centered on the burgundy t-shirt.
- Cheese: cut round holes from a yellow felt triangle.
- Pin it over the yellow t-shirt.
- Safety: If cutting holes in the shirt itself, keep them small and away from the seams so the shirt holds its shape.
- Optional pro finish: raise your glasses together for every photo.

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.
