A woman creates impressive miniature homes inspired from her favourite TV shows like Stranger things or Full House.

Bridget McCarty, 39, spends weeks at a time carefully crafting the houses in boxes designed to look like walls with each costing up to £390 ($500).

Bridge also allows her tiny hamster Snowball to explore them, which she adores.

The houses take from a few weeks to a month to build and require painstakingly gluing hundreds of pieces together.

Bridget also hand paints the boxes and wires them by hand so they can be plugged in and lit up.

The homes are a single room and end up inside a wooden box, which are approximately two-feet wide, so Snowball can take time to explore them.

Bridget, a content creator from Los Angeles, California, USA, said: "I do work on this like a full-time job. [The houses] take me a couple weeks to build, or up to a month."

"Each piece requires painting, assembling and gluing. There are lots of steps, especially hiding the electrical wires.

"It can cost anywhere between two hundred and five hundred dollars.

"If I have to buy more expensive items the price goes up. It helps to buy a few pieces just so that it doesn’t take me half a year to finish the project."

Bridget has been making the miniatures for twenty years but only started letting Snowball in them a few months ago.

The suggestion came from her followers and Snowball adores looking around the tiny homes.

She said: "I’ve built miniature houses in the past but never really thought of them as homes for hamsters or mice until my followers began telling me that.

"[Snowball] is always begging to come out of her cage so she can have a look. She is very curious and sweet."
