Hi Shopping mum,

I love the flower carrot…very unique….as u mention using a small cutter to cut out the small holes…i cant imagine how am i going to do that…is too tedious i will sure to have a big holes in it instead of few small holes…care to share what cutter u using for the small hole.

Annie Q, ya, just use a normal flower cutter to cut out the carrots, then use a smaller round cutter, or a straw to cut out the holes. If you steam the carrot first, it will be softer.

I love your flower carrot! Look so unique and pretty! U use the flower cutter? Then the small hole is using another cutter to cut it out??
U always full of great idea to make the bento look so nice!

Chia, you can use some butter to stick the seaweed on. Most of the time, it won’t drop off unless you shake the lunch box.

Arlene, I found a lot of Jap blogs do that, for adult bentos though. Can give it a try.

Like your flowery carrots, something unusual!

It is really fun looking at your bento, very creative.
BTW, how do you affix the eyes , nose and mouth in place to ensure it will not drop off ?
