Pasta has the image of being an easy, accessible food you can enjoy in many places, and choosing the flavor is part of the fun.

This piece is about using parts that evoke pasta to recreate various variations as mascots.

Since pasta comes in many shapes, let’s carefully plan decorations that match each type of pasta.

It’s important to imagine what ingredients would make it delicious as you create, and to do the detailed work needed to faithfully reproduce those elements.

Corner clip rice balls and sandwiches

Let’s make onigiri rice balls and sandwiches using corner clips for holding papers! For the onigiri, stick double-sided tape on the clip, then attach white, long-pile yarn to it.

Next, glue a small square of black felt on top to act as the seaweed, and it’s done! It’s also fun to tuck pieces of felt that look like fillings into the gap of the clip.

For the sandwich, prepare white felt cut into a triangle like bread, and felt cut into shapes for ham and lettuce.

Stick them together with double-sided tape in the order of fillings, then bread, and you’re finished! You can customize both the onigiri and sandwiches by changing the colors of felt and the types of “fillings” you cut out.

bento crafting

@n.annlee321♬ Nerd Strut (Instrumental) – Gen Hoshino

Bento craft that looks just like the real thing through clever use of color and shape is an art form that lets you enjoy the fun of making food.

Layer tissue over yellow crepe paper, offset them, cut into quarters, and fluff it up to get a texture like rolled omelet.

Roll up red crepe paper and add a green calyx, and it turns out just like a cherry tomato.

Wrap tissue in white crepe paper, shape it into a triangle, then wrap with black origami paper, and you’ve got a proper onigiri.

Even though every component is made only of paper, the thoughtful colors and shapes make it look delicious.

By planning the placement of side dishes and the overall arrangement, it becomes a work that greatly boosts creativity and powers of observation.
