A Bento for Charlie Brown
Last night I turned on the TV and A Charlie Brown Valentine
This didn’t turn out as well as I’d hoped, since his shirt and arms look way too big for his head. I thought his face turned out pretty good though. My grandma used to have this battered old copy of some Charlie Brown Valentine’s Day story where he made a huge valentine for his teacher only to eat her dust as she drove off with her boyfriend. So sad…
I’d have put a little red-haired girl next to him, but you know he’d never have the guts to talk to her. We’ll just pretend the two valentines above his head are for him and not ones that he will try and fail to deliver.
The hana ebi looks kind of odd, doesn’t it? I should have brought some nori to eat with it too. On the left side I have Costco chicken, asparagus, broccoli, a sliced cutie, and strawberry halves. The valentines are made out of cheese and egg omelet. The outer heart was cut with Wilton Crinkle Shape Cut-Outs
Here’s a closer look at Chuck. I used three different punches for his face. I used two mini smiles and one smiling eye for his hair curl, two eyes from the mini smile, and a big oval eye from my big emoji punch. I cut his strip with a scissors and cut his shirt out with a cutter I have. The hands turned out terrible and I really should have just cut his shirt out with a printout, but oh well. His shirt is made out of egg omelet.
I’ve got two more boxes added to my Docubentory. These two have only been used once, but I just bought this Disney Princess Bento Box
You might remember it from my screaming charaben bunnies bento. 
I should probably do a Chinese New Year bento, but I have to do some kind of Valentine’s Day bento for Mr. Pikko, so maybe I can swing both, we’ll see.

My name is Crystal Watanabe and I'm 32 years old, living in Honolulu, Hawaii with my husband and two children. I have an addictive personality and that's a terrible thing when you're into cute bentos. I own over 200 bento boxes and way too many bento accessories!. 
You know, I didn’t even notice the arms until you mentioned it – it really does look like charlie brown it’s creepy! Love it!

Poor Chuck, he’s probably waiting patiently by an empty mailbox.

Pikko, this is cool! And I don’t think the hana ebi looks odd. They give a good contrast on the rice. My kids probably only know Snoopy but will show to them later and test them whether they know Charlie Brown hehehe …

Be gentle with that Princess box. The Disney boxes with latches are notorious for breaking.
