Every Sunday, I’m going to post random stuff. It could be a neat trick for making kyaraben, or a super easy & yummy food recipe I found, etc…
Today, I’d like to share “how to make a super durable egg sheet.” Later I’ll also show you how to make flowers using the egg sheet. In Japan, they sell “obento sheet” at the supermarket.

It’s almost impossible to get “obento sheet” in the U.S., but I found instructions for “how to make your own obento sheet” online.
