The first thing you can do is make deli meat flowers. Once made, put a toothpick through the base and freeze, then you can take out the toothpick and store in freezer bags. Here is another tutorial on deli meat flowers.
You can use cutters to make shapes and designs. Anything you can imagine you can make. I like to cut them into circles and then freeze in stacks of three with wax paper in between for easy removal. Most bento shops have super cute cutters you can use to make animals, shapes, and other designs. Many japanese mothers put ham shapes on rice balls to make bunnies, pigs, or frogs.
I especially like using bento sandwich cutters that have little imprints in them. You have to remove the imprint part and use it separately from the cutter, but it usually turns out well. If you do a lot of them at once you can freeze them.
Of course you can always
