Today I washed and cut up all of my produce for the upcoming week, and stumbled upon something really cute. If you cut celery just right, you can make adorable bear shapes! These will make a great decoration for my bento lunches, and any other cute food dress up. These bears are really easy to make, but you can only make a few of them because you have to cut them out of the branch part near the top of each celery rib. If you pick a celery stalk with several ribs, you can make more bear cutouts than if you use a sparse celery stalk. Here's how to cut them out:
 |
| Place knife about 1/8" above the indented part of the celery and cut. |
 |
| It should look like this. Or close to it. |
 |
| Cut on the indentation. |
 |
| Teddy bears! |
How cute!
