Cheese Flags and a Platter

You know when you're at a party hovering over the cheese platter and wondering what type of cheese is before you ... A smokey dutch and strong edam can look pretty similar but have very different tastes!

Well wonder no more when you can make these cute little cheese flags!
 


I was making this cheese platter to take to a party and had a spare 5 minutes so I grabbed .... Some toothpicks, textured paper which I cut in strips with patterned scissors, rolled on some glue, folded it over the toothpick and wrote the cheese names on the flags
 

 
It got a few laughs and nobody had to ask me what the cheeses were, which mean I could relax and enjoy my wine AND cheese!

  1. I will have to remember this tip for the holidays. I do get tired of people asking about the cheese. I read on down your blog - love your garden. It makes me wish for Spring. We are headed for the darkest days of the year and it is hard to get anything done.

    Thanks for visiting my post!
