Christmas?

[ZzIszy]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could make Christmas toys, decorations, accessories for my winter white hamster cage????:D

Sorry, I'm useless at making Christmas decorations - except for paper chains which you can buy ready to lick and stick. Maybe some of those with little hamsters in santa hats drawn in them?! I think you should wait for someone more creative to reply .........:rolleyes:

Okay, but your idea is great I have already made one for the outside of my cage!

Cute! I'm putting tinsel round the edge of my cage ^^

I got some toilet roll tubes and cut them into four and cut slits in them and then stuck them together with ErinsHamsters 'pet safe glue'(1 part flour,2 parts water) to make a safe Paper chain.

I also cut some tubes in half, then cut it in half again but in a zig zag to make little mini hats like you get in xmas crackers! I just cut the tips of the points as they felt quite sharp. :)

The paper chains a good idea :)

If you look at my DIY for the treat box maybe can use this as a "present" box, maybe make them in different colours?

You can get removable stickers to put on a aquarium (on the outside) or around you cage on any shiny surfaces? Or little ornaments or ballballs around the outside of the cage :)
A more fun activity is a cracker treat dispenser, I saw this idea on the internet, you need a cardboard tube (toilet roll), fill it with treats/food then wrap it with paper and twist the ends and poke them in slightly, so that it looks like a cracker. They can then rip it apart to get the treats out and it looks cute too! The only thing is that many people use wrapping paper for this idea and I don't know if it's bad if eaten because of the ink? But maybe you could use somthing else if it is! Have fun! :)

Too make Christmas crackers for your hamster, just roll up a toilet paper tube in some plain paper, with some Christmas pictures drawn on if you like, and stuff the tube full of little treats and things and twist the ends closed. Then offer them the cracker to your ham to tear into and enjoy!

the cracker is a good idea, i wouldn't draw on them though and the ink can be poisonous to hamsters

You could get a christmas themed ceramic tea light holder for a hideout or a christmas themed ceramic dish scrub holder as a hideout. Like this one I found online.. Only good for tiny dwarfs of course.

You can find things like this in second hand shops like Goodwill and such, but make sure they are crack free, can be cleaned well if they are dirty, and wax free if it's a tealight candle holder.

I got these ideas from HoppingHammy or ErinsHamsters on youtube! holy wow the DIY and decoration ideas! check them out below! They've got tutorial vids and tours of their different themes for cages they've done.

I'm going to make Pikachu some paper snowflakes (I keep seeing those Star Wars template ones going around, so will probably make those!) for his cage and I'll probably make him some Christmas trees out of paper and loo roll too!

I'm going to make him little presents out of origami boxes and maybe use a pet-safe string to tie it up? Treats inside of course!

I've also stuck little cling-on gels on the front of his cage along the bottom, because you can't forget the exterior!
