I received a note letting me know this:
Thank you for my order tonight, I am using the sushi grass to place
around wood castle, church, houses landscaping and this will be for my
4, 3,& two 2 year old grandsons project that I am doing for next
holiday gifts ! Thank you !
So fun and interesting! I'd love to see the end results and I'm sure some grandsons are going to be very happy with them too!
I've used mine for Easter baskets, care packages for a pop of color, cards, and even Etsy packaging! Unfortunately, I forget to take photos or make them last minute and off they go and I don't even think of taking photos, but here are some quick examples I made for examples.

I love all the kawaii cute sticky notes because it's easy for kids to move around before gluing and for me too!

Saying Goodbye: I have my own destash of these and use them often as bento dividers and mixed media art and sometimes even put them in my "thank you" packaging for Etsy buyers who l know like paper ephemera, especially if I think they'll like something unique.
What I Learned:
1. It's good to know I'm not the only one who uses sushi grass, called "haran" or "baran" in Japanese, for other things besides bento or sushi dividers!
2. Over 15 years ago, I made Easter cards with the sushi grass when they were so difficult to find I had to actually reuse and save them from restaurants or bentos from Mistuyas! I know I saved one some where, but it's still lost in my hoard.
3. I love the pop of color they add as a prop in photos for the Etsy items we list. Here is an example:

I wish I had taken a photo of the mini Easter baskets I made one year using sushi grass, instead of the traditional Easter grass, but here is an example of how I use them for Etsy shop packaging. Teach gift apple stampers, available here
