I hear lots of people here use plasti-kote. Can't wait to see it I think this thread is dying a little bit.

Sometimes functionality> apperance. *Sigh*


btw I still don't have a hamster. Although, I found the perfect one (Maybe nobody has bought it yet...but I doubt it)

WOW!!!!! You are getting so creative!!

I have Jenga on my shopping list and have had it there since I saw the jenga creations you clever people have going on. I also am going to get a set of kids blocks - colorful ones. I refuse to steal my son's haha.

l am using pva wood glue from Wilkinsons. I think its exactly the same as the cheap kids pva glue just thicker (less water in the mix). It dries solid in about 10 mins, even sooner if you use cheap mini spring clamps from the pound shops.

Wilkinsons also sell the kids coloured ice lolly sticks. They are 85p for a pack of 50 and can be delivered for free next day if you pick up from store.

Some more stuff. Not all of it being made out of popsicle sticks.
A ladder:

A picnic table which hold these little candle holder things (I've taken out the candles and scrubbed everything down so there's no residue left at all. Vinegar works wonders on it) Cutting this took FOREVER.

These are handwoven (and has so far been ignored by latte)


I made all this stuff for one hamster and decided that's enough but now that I have two.......
