I thought I'd share an update on the bento making at our house. It's been so fun for me to create these little lunches. Usually I just stick with a color theme, or add some fun picks. But here are a few that I put a little more thought into. Giraffes, circles, and bears.
As I showed in my last bento post, I get most of the ideas from Another Lunch. And I found all the supplies through that website as well - Easy Lunchboxes, and bento picks/forks from J-box.
My favorite little tools have been the mini cutters though. You can find the romantic and noah's ark sets at JoAnn Fabrics, and use the 40% off coupon from the Sunday paper to buy these for only around $2 each! I use them to cut out fruit leather, cheese bites, and cucumbers. So fun!

Carolyn! Love what you're making (especially fond of the sparkly picks in the second photo!)So fun to see your beautiful bento lunches in my containers. I posted these on our Facebook wall :)
Is the Bento Fork/Pick the cool green thing that look like grass?
Super presentation Care!
Cute lunches. Found you through ELB's FB page. Have a wonderful Weds :)
MMW - those grass things are silicone separators, usually to keep the dry and wet things apart. Or to decorate the strawberry and carrot "forests" for the bears :)
I checked our local Joanne's for those cutters, but they don't have them. Apparently our store is too small. Bummer. Oh well, I'll keep watching for them.
