Want to make a cute hamster maze like this? HH member wenxin (aka dashingblue) teaches you how in 5 easy steps!

===

Step 1: Gather the necessary materials you will need. Two white boards, decorating papers (preferably smooth and waterproof), clear tapes, ruler, scissor, pen knife and glue!

Step 2: Glue and tape the two white boards together. This will be the base of the maze. Then stick the decorating paper onto it!

Step 3: Tape the decorating paper onto the board.

Step 4: Glue the borders!

Step 5: Make the maze by cutting boards with pen knife and glue on.

Step 6: Furnish with little toys and it’s done!

2 dashingblue (Wenxin) April 17, 2008 at 11:56 pm: Thanks HoppingHammy! And thanks Wiffy for the lovely article posted here. =) It is a privilege to have my D.I.Y. hamster maze featured in HH Blog. =)

I am glad to share what I do for my pets with the rest of you, and I hope that this can give you all some inspiration and ideas to hand-make more things for your hamsters and your pets! Hehe~

And yeah, Mayo is totally adorable!!
4 dusty April 20, 2008 at 12:10 am: I like this! It is very cute and I think the deco paper and the coloured board makes the maze look sweet. Usually mazes we see in contests are a boring grey or plain white.
