Chinese Lanterns Bento

While Chinese New Year lasts two weeks, this is the end of my CNY bentos. I've really challenged myself this week and am pleased with the different bentos I've created. Tonight is the big Chinese New Year performance at my daughter's school. The school is decked out with lanterns, so I decided to make lanterns for today's lunch. I made up the red egg sheets last night. I love how easy egg sheet is to make and work with.
