This post is in answer to Maria, who asked for a Hello Kitty sandwich idea. If you don’t have a Hello Kitty cutter handy, you can make your own reusable stencil with a picture printed out from the net, a plastic sheet, and a few household items.
For the plastic sheet, I used an inexpensive, thin and flexible plastic cutting board that I picked up from the grocery store. To make the stencil, secure the picture to the plastic using a clip to prevent the picture from moving, then cut with a scissors.

Place stencil on the bread and use a sharp and pointed knife to cut around it. Use a slice of whole wheat and a slice white bread for contrast and finish with cheese eyes, nose, whiskers, and flower. Hope you like it Maria!
For a simpler Hello Kitty sandwich, use the stencil to cut out HK from a flour tortilla like I did in this DIY Ferb post.












What a great idea for easy cute HK sandwiches!
Nice tutorial. Looks simple enough for me to try! Thanks!
You’re so creative Susan
I have the sandwich cutter but haven’t thought to try this!

Just stumbled on your blog today and love some of the ideas here. I wanted to share a hello kitty lunch I did for my niece a while ago:

I didn’t use a cutter either, just used a glass to cut a circle than used (clean) scissors to cut out the ears. I did find hello kitty cookie cutters at party city recently that are decent size for sandwiches (I never thought to check there for bento supplies but they have some cute stuff). They also had mickey mouse and spongebob.
