Nori

Nori is similar in texture to paper. Therefore, paper punches are the perfect accessories to use to make your bentos pretty. I've found some really cute paper punches at Michaels and at Target in the dollar bins. Target has some right now that are shaped like pumpkins, apples, leaves and a starburst or flower (not sure what it is, but its pretty). You can sprinkle them over your rice or make designs with them on other foods. You can find some more expensive ones on J-list (j-box) that have eyes & mouths with different expressions. Perfect for putting faces on your onigiri or sandwiches. Scrapbookers, you can use your fancy edged scissors on nori. How about a nori -frame around your rice artwork?
