Take two slices of bread and, using a butter knife, spread both slices of bread with a small amount of soft butter. Then, on one slice, spread chicken salad, tuna salad, or pimento cheese generously. Place the other slice of buttered bread on top of the filling and press together gently.
Take a sharp knife (ask your mom to help you with this) and cut off the crusts. Then cut the sandwich across one way, turn and cut across the other way, making 4 triangle tea sandwiches.
Cream cheese and jam
Take two slices of bread and, using a butter knife, spread one slice of bread with softened cream cheese. On the other slice of bread, spread about one tablespoon of strawberry or raspberry jam. Put the slices together and press gently.

Variation
In addition to triangle tea sandwiches, you can use cookie cutters to make decorative sandwiches. Use your cookie cutter and cut out the center of several slices of bread. Remove the crusts. Follow instructions above for adding different sandwich fillings.
Store sandwiches in a waxed paper-lined plastic container with slightly damp paper towels between the layers and on top. Seal tightly and place in refrigerator until time to serve.
