Bento cuteness can now be yours! {via JustBento} This Hello Kitty Bento Decorating Set is now available here
. I just ordered one myself. It comes with 3 rice molds, a food cutter (looks like a cookie cutter), and 3 nori punches. What the heck is a nori punch? Well, it's basically a paper puncher but for nori (dried seaweed). That is how they made the little eyes, noses, and whiskers on the rice balls. We'll see if I ever manage to use it. It's a must have for bento freaks!

I'm just starting to get into Bento and I'm glad to find your blog! I'll come back for cute ideas.

Andrea - I'm so glad you visited! I've been making bentos for a couple years now, and it's neat to see how everyone develops their own bento style. Let me know if there are any questions or posts that would be helpful to you.

So cute!!! How big do the onigiri get? They don't look very big.. I would probably eat about 20 of them! :)
