Using a mini circle cookie cutter, you can make rounds from the cheese and turkey if you are using round crackers. OR, you can use a knife like I did here and cut out squares of cheese and turkey to match our square crackers
Place turkey, cheese and crackers in the bento box
For the fruit flower, simply shape the orange segments into petals and add a raspberry (or blueberry or whatever you have) in the center. So easy!
