Shoestring Bento: Movie Reel

I’ve had the idea for this series brewing in my head for quite sometime. I’ve known since almost the beginning that I wanted to use the large circle cutter because it is so versatile. So I kept an eye out on other bento blogs for ideas using basic shapes (nothing wrong with being inspired!)

Anyway, there was something so simple but right with the movie reel lunch from This Lunch Rox, that I decided I wanted to make one as well. I decided to use stars to fit with the “Movie Star” theme, and use crackers to make a movie slate.

The line up:

In this lunch:

Applegate Farms Turkey
Tillamook Cheese
Green Apples
Graham Cracker
Pretzel Sticks
Organic Romaine Lettuce
Organic Carrots
Organic Celery
Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread
Trader Joe’s Yogurt Star

This lunch was served in Easy Lunch Boxes. The cookie cutters used were Wilton soft grip round cutter, Wilton linzer cookie cutter, and Wilton square silicone cups. I used the toothpick to push the apple core out of the apple slices and the knife to cut the veggies and apples.

In case you don’t want to go to the store and prefer shopping from home, here are a list of links to the items I used in this lunch. These are affiliate links. If you choose to buy from my links, I get a small percentage.
