Oh wow, that is quite a masterpiece! I'm sure your hamster loves it

It puts my DIY skills to shame haha

Really good job, it's amazing!


Edit:
Just watched the tutorial as well, very well made. I like how it's all like a video game :p
And I looooove the small animated hamsters!! I think the hamster with the file is my favourite. Don't ask me why, it's just so cute!
Can you tell me what glue you used for this project?

Thanks! :p I used non-toxic PVA/school glue. It holds it together surprisingly strongly

This is great! What type of tool did you use to cut out the hamster shape? I think I need to invest in better tools as I currently use scissors that can only cut in straight lines without splintering the whole craft stick :p Vanilla must be one happy ham!

I used a craft knife in a sawing motion along the drawn lines. I think I got the set from from poundland :)

Any PVA that's non-toxic is ok, including Elmer's :p

That's so cool, I wish I could make things like that for my hammies! My absolute favourite of yours is the ice cream truck! I love your channel. :D

Having been inspired by Vanilla I built 2 houses for our 2 hamsters.

Ladders with gaps of any sort should not be used as they create a serious safety risk for hamsters :(

Those are quite impressive! I'm sure your hams will appreciate all the work :)
The ladders would be better if you filled in the gaps, it's not easy for hams to climb open ladders & they can hurt themselves.

Wow! Everyone's houses are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I wish that I could do that for Eros; I know that he will absolutely love it. Totally inspiring indeed. Is there any specific type of craft knife that you used to create these masterpieces?

Thanks for the advice, I filled in the gaps before we put our hamsters in and they are having a great time.
