Easter Bento

Happy Easter (almost)! I created this bento lunch before Easter, for two reasons.
(1) To illustrate what you could do with an Easter-themed bento
(2) To show you the steps (on Thursday!)
That way, you'll have the skills and the time to make one too!

Cookie cutters turned slices of multigrain bread into a cross and a tombstone. The baby spinach around the cross symbolizes green grass, while the edible pansy flower (eat only the petals) represents the newness of life in Springtime.

Mashed potatoes form the tomb, with black olives illustrating the emptiness of the grave.

Dried blueberries create the sky with a cheddar cheese sun shining down from above.

Red Twizzlers were cut and toothpicked together to form the word "Life", which is what Easter is really all about.

Come back on Thursday for the "How To" post!
