hanging Heart Tutorial

[traste]

I had a go at this the other day whilst bored. You can used different colour loo paper, hang individually, or string several together. Also you can try different shapes.
You could press sunflower seeds into the wet mache, then when set, hammie can chew out the treat.
Possibilities are endless. NOTE: I have used cotton thread to demonstrate only, as I had no string.

This is fantastic! Can't wait to have a go myself - may I ask: what string is considered suitable for a hamster? I've not made toys before.

Would make a nice memorial if hand painted with craft paint and then varnished, or `decoupage` and covered with PVA glue and set with images of your passed hamster and hung on a door handle as a little keepsake. Cookie cutters in the shape of a guinea pig or a rabbit or a mouse could also be used? I have two small metal shaped cookie cutters like this but havn`t used them for baking. So those could be moulded into the shape of the animal and then painted with similar hamster colours. :)
