Some of us are bigger bags of wind than others, Julleran! :^ Bigger
holes would help. I've seen people do them with holes the size of a
dime, though smaller holes are so much nicer.

Dime-sized holes could be covered. Piping bag sounds like a good
suggestion. I saw a late-period or mid-1600s reference to paper tube
with a hole in one end. Of course, I have no idea now where I saw it.
