Last night did Hello Kitty needle felted character (only the head) to match my today's bento theme. I dressed up Hello Kitty as Totoro character ^_^ Nowadays my daughter requested not too much of dishes or a lot for her lunchbox. Most of her friends taking school meal sets and the school separated sitting area for homecooked students. So she prefers to quickly finished her foods then join with her friends :) I asked her whether she wants to take school meal sets instead of homecooked? I felt blessed to hear words from her that she still wants cute bento for her lunchbox in school. Wait for few more years I think can pack her normal bento (non kyaraben) same as my son bento. I actually still prefer let my kids bring homecooked food course the school meal set price was quite costly for a month.
Here's the close up Hello Kitty in Totoro costume ^_^ As usual, mix the rice with black sesame powder for Totoro and boiled egg (white) for body. All nori details I spread some mayonnaise to stick on. The Hello Kitty nose made from eggsheet (used up my balance eggsheet).
For side dishes contain ginger chicken stew, sauce at the small container and some sweet pea ^_^
I hope you like my today's dressed up Hello Kitty. Happy Thursday!
Using CuteZCute Cuddle Palz cutter to made "Tiger" theme bento ^_^ I'm sure most of you familiar with this cute cutter! Full details for the CuteZCute cutter can be found after my sharing post. I tried to made two different eggsheet. One is the original eggsheet for yellow colour and the other brown eggsheet mix with dark sweet sauce. As you can see that my eggsheet top part was shinny due to I don't turn over the eggsheet.
Here is the close up Tiger Cuddle Palz and I create on my own a mini tiger ^_^ The pink colour is kamaboko. I mixed the rice with fuirkake then pour to the lunchbox. Next arrange the broccoli, chicken drumette, fresh button mushroom and lastly add the Tiger eggsheet on top.
As for the mini tiger, I use rilakkuma cookie cutter to cut out the head part and use the straw for the legs. Freehand penknife cut out the yellow lines and finished all the details.
My daughter loves to eat the mini grapes and only request this fruits :p

I'm excited after flipped through all the pages like though I've the skilled to craft :D Honestly, I'm totally clueless and have not crafted since many years ago (when I'm in 20's) Can't wait to start out and my two darlings already made their ordered which character they wanted =_=" Oh gosh....looks like I need to seek help from my mother since she's the expert on knitting ^_^ In case you would like to know more about the book, just check out the link above that I've highlighted.

Then she answered: Ah....they're my cousins!!! That's why they looked different ^_^ hahaha....she's so cute and I didn't think of that by just making as many as possible to fit in the lunchbox :D
Here is the closer look of the Piggies Family ^_^ Shape two big onigiri and followed by two small onigiri. The pink colour is made from kamaboko and I just add different nori expression for each piggies except one of the piggy was showing off the butt :p Since there is still room for another two piggies so I add the quail eggs together to join in the family!!

Oh gosh....why I can't made it right for Kuromi head!!! I don't want to spend too much time on it so just arrange it =_=" My daughter asked me why is the skull look different? Then I realized I've missed out adding the nori line and should add oval shape eyes instead of circle eyes. Oh well....can't be amend since I've took some time to shape the Kuromi head...so just let it be :D
Here is the close up Kuromi photo. Shape the head and wrap with nori. Then shape the rice body and legs. Arrange all of it into the bento box and lastly add some lettuce to cover the holes. Freehand scissor cut out nori for eyes and the pink color made of kamaboko.
