how do u make a bento box?

i was thinking of making my own bento box like those litttle cute japanese lunch thingies i was wondering if anybody could help me find a site or give me directions on how to make my own bento box. .

I’m going to buy mine from Jbox.com. But you can also try Ebay. There are tons of selllers from Japan on Ebay.

As for what to put in a bento. Anything really. Traditionally, you would use rice with meat and veggies. But, you can make a sandwich or make a salad for your bento.

The website I mentioned sells cute molds, shapers and condiment holders. The fun thing about bento lunches are that they are fun to make and kinda pretty.

Here’s some of the recipe websites I like:
