Steps

1

Mix the "decofuri" furikake with the rice. Divide the rice into 3 portions - a large one for the face and 2 small portions for the ears. Form each portion into a ball.
2

Put the balls into a bento box. If the ears fall off, affix them to the head with pieces of long thin pasta.
3

Make an oval shape from kitchen parchment paper, and use it as a pattern to cut an oval shape from the cheese using a toothpick.
4

Make the facial features: The face...cheese; the mouth...nori seaweed; the nose...a piece of vegetable sheet, omelette or cheese. If you layer the cheese on top of a slice of ham, it will be more stable and not get too soft.
5

Put the facial features on, and it's done. Add hands and accessories to make it cute.

These are the special bento decorating tools I used.
7

For this version I added a bonnet made out of ham.
