Here is a bento that you can eat with your hands! Mini finger sandwiches made with deli meat, were decorated with cheddar and mozzarella cheese butterflies and flowers. I also dressed up the mini sandwiches with cute picks and sugar eyes for the butterflies. Along side the bite-sized sandwiches were pretzels, strawberries, and a small side container of mayo.
To see more fun finger foods and bite-sized lessons check out Kawaii Bento Club’s Bento Summer School, week 2.
These are the cutters and picks that I used for today’s bento.













What cutiepies! I think I’m gonna have to make a mini ‘wich bento to get back. So tired I can’t even think straight, but I think I can manage a sandwich! Maybe.
Thanks Sheri!
Hope you can get some rest!
I love the little picks! They work perfect for the cute bugs! You are so clever!
Thanks Lyndsey!
Those are some seriously cute little sandwiches!
Thank you Melissa!
Perfect, too cute to eat little sammies–squeals!
Thanks Jenn!
Oh mine, this is so cute! Love the butterfly with the sugar eyes especially!
Thanks KidsDreamWork!
How cute! I love the little finger sandwiches! What a fun and tasty lunch
Thanks so much Jenn!
Beautiful. I love how simple & colorful this is!
Thanks Shannon!
Really cute! I never thought of finger food bento before
But you are absolutely right. Eating with hands is really the best (sometimes^^).
Thanks Lil’chan!
My son loves bite-sized finger foods.
So cuteee! Tks for including the tools!!! Really helps to make it easier for us to ‘re-create’!
Thanks tona-mama!
I try to include the tools more often.
Soooo cute! I can’t show it to my daughter, she would want them immediately and I don’t have oval cutter…
Thanks Margot!
Tks so much Susan! That’s so sweet of u and so generous in sharing!
Thanks Tona-mama!
Hi Susan, at first, i’ve seen this cute creation in bento summer school. it makes me interested to join along. However, tell me, we are supposed to create something by ourselves? not only for sandwiches, correct? any finger food will do?
thanks for sharing…It is so lovely…
I believe that you can create something yourself or you can just try to duplicate something that has already been done. But yes, any finger foods or bite sized foods are the theme this week.
So cute!!! Love those butterflies!!!
Thanks Angeleyes!
I love this bento! I saw it last week on flickr. I already used your idea with the cheese flowers! Thanks!
Thanks Bar7Ranch!
Still love these! And totally borrowing the eyes, of course.
Thanks for adding this to the link up!
Thank you Shannon!
Susan I love your little butterflies. I’m just curious, did you get the cutter from an easter set? I just bought one similar. I also wanted to say just how much I am enjoying your book. I’m thankful to have an English bento book to learn from. I hope you will make more!!!
Hi Kelly! The butterflies were part of this Wilton fondant cutter set http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Fondant-Garden-Shapes-Outs/dp/B000FRVURK/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1278361345&sr=8-15
