Little Mouse Bento
I did a mouse bento previously, and I felt like fixing this theme again because it’s quick and easy.
But this time, I used 2 quail eggs for a mouse, instead of one like the previous bento. Today’s bento are quite light, with only kiwi, mango and a piece of jam sandwich. Thus, I packed 2 quail eggs in each bento.
I didn’t manage to snap the step by step photos on how I decorated the mouse’s head, but I shall explain in detailed.

The mice, decorated from quail eggs
1. Cut a line diagonally on the equal egg and slip in the ear. You can cut the ears from kamaboko, with the orange cutter as shown in this post. This cutter comes with the quail egg cutter set.
2. Then, I added the eyes, nose and lip punched from nori.
3. Break 2 tiny bits of spaghetti strips and pin them on the mouse as whiskers. I only added whiskers at one side since I wanted to create a “side-view” mouse.

4. Pin this pick on another quail egg as the tail.

5. Join the quail eggs with spaghetti strip. (Tips on Spaghetti Strips)
Then, I slipped the mice in the bentos, and here they are:
There’s lots of gap in today’s bento, but the mouse should be stagnant in the silicon cup, unless you swing the bento around.
