Mr. Snowman Bento

Directions

1. 1
   Make 2 round onigiri rice balls and flatten out the top and bottom.
2. 2
   These rice balls aren't filled with anything as I didn't have time, but even salted onigiri are delicious.
3. 3
   Punch the eyes, mouth, and buttons out of a sheet of nori seaweed and stick them onto the snowman If the rice is still warm the nori may wrinkle, so stick them on once the rice has cooled.
4. 4
   If the rice is still hot, then leave this step until last.
5. 5
   Carefully peel off the top red layer of the imitation crabstick and wrap it around the snowman's neck.
6. 6
   If you are worried about it coming off...
7. 7
   ...stick a tiny bit of nori seaweed to the end of the crabstick, and onto this, dab on a tiny bit of ketchup with a toothpick to stick it in place.
8. 8
   To make the part of the scarf that sticks out, simply cut a piece of the red layer of the crabstick and stick it on.
9. 9
   I cut the end of the scarf like a ribbon end.
10. 10
    Dab some ketchup onto the cheeks with a toothpick and you're done.
11. 11
    For Christmas, I gave the snowman a Santa hat and surrounded him in decorative curry.
