Tips for the Blueberry Theme
The blueberries are small spheres with a tiny star-shaped calyx embroidered on top, made with a few straight stitches. Let the hamster hug one big blueberry or sit surrounded by several small ones. Chubby cheeks are essential for hamster cuteness, so stuff the face generously and embroider a tiny smile between them.
