   Stuff the cooked rice into the storebought inarizushi skins.

   Use a spoon to shape the rice into a ball when stuffing it inside.

3. 3

   Flip the ffilled inarizushi over, and form it into a round shape while smoothing out the crease.

   Push in and smooth the corners too so that you don't notice them much.

   Only use the side halves that have 2 square corners.

    Make the parts for the face.

12. 12

    Cut out 2 circles of sliced cheese using a circular cutter.

    You can slightly shift the circular cutter, and make a second cut to make an oval.

    Make the facial features out of nori seaweed.

    I cut the rest with scissors.

    Using a thin juice box straw, cut out 2 circles from the sliced cheese to add a sparkle to the eyes, and it's done.

    You can use mayonnaise instead for this.
