They sound great, I especially like the idea of using an ice cube tray for mini-onigiri. Tiny spam musubi! Hey, thanks for the ideas.

So far, my best ideas are the round holders that cheap prize machines give out, they are leakproof and a nice size for a onigiri-form, they now have tiny ones too with rings inside, that could easily hold salt and peppper mix or furikake. Also, the dropley shaped bottle of foodcoloring, when empty make adorable sauce containers, just like the soy fishies! My newest is the ice cube tray mini onigiri, you just slip a small square of egg or spam in the bottom, pack on the rice and pop them out!

Ganyan ka rin ba mag rationalize ng expensive purchases? :P @barbie Thanks barbie! I hope you star, it's really fun. I guess since it doubles as a creative outlet, it's doubly engrossing. Try your local Japanese groceries for the squeeze bottles. They stock them sometimes. I bought some of mine at New Hatchin in San Antonio Village, Makati. I have a couple of brand new accessories (sauce bottles included) which I plan to resell on this site, but i haven't gotten around to listing them. I'll try to get them up this weekend. *crosses fingers* @Tony Lou

I would like to start my own, but what would you recommend? And where do you find the tiny squeeze bottles? I have been mooning over your bento box collection since I first came upon your blog.
