Bento #2: Octopus Bento

When I received all my bento crafts last week, I was so excited that I made the Little Chick Bento and this Octopus Bento within a night. It was getting late, but Aunty and I were so determined to make this bento together.

We wanted to experiment with some of the cutters. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out as pretty as the first one. I bought this hotdog mould which can cut hot dogs into different shapes but we bought Taiwanese sausages instead of hotdogs. So the sausages can’t fit into the mould at all, and we had to slice it using knife instead. Well, we learn from experience, I am sure the next one will be better!

The first few shots I took, were without the “Hi” words. Aunty found it very plain, and used knife to craft out the alphabets. I actually bought the alphabet cutter too, but she says her alphabets are prettier. It was fun making bento with Aunty.

Oh, did I say it before? Look at the cute little hat on the sausage. I really love the picks, maybe I should get more designs. Gosh, bento making is an expensive hobby!
