Yes it was just a kitchen piggy that had in between his body a rol of kitchen tissues. but i loved the shape of him so i thought directly i can use him for other things.
Tthat was a good idea because when i'm hold him out of my bagsack he was broken. (They had wrapped him badly in my bagsack when i asked for help-S) so i wasn't tooo sorry for the broken piggy after all.
It's a kind of polyester, very hard and stands the heat of the ironing.
i have broken him a lot of times so i wasn't worry of damaging him more.;-D
but you can use more things just try out that it can stand the heat of the ironing for the melting of plastic.
you can use as well a plant trough or a stone statue but fist test of it's good .
and when you cut the plastic of the mold be careful for damagings or use as a layer in between tin foil. But i have allready explained that in the how to.
I think you can use a doll as well but try it out on an place where you can 't see it when it's a dear one.
I hope i have answered all your questions;-D
Hope you will show your version , be creative and have fun;-D

Cool! I'm just a bit confused, what did you use as the mold? It was something you already had? What kind of material was it?

I don't use those things so i think it'snot.
it's really a tiny flat iron, it's from the brand clover, there is now a new model that has more tools to use at the top.
It's expensive but i use mine always for small things to ironing.
it's more look alike upon a soldering iron, but this one is more sophisticcated.LOL
because you can set the hight of the temperture on it.
hope this is a helpfull answer?
just let me know if not.;-D
the site where you can find it is www.clover.com
or try other shops of crafting suplies in your own country.

thank you all for your interrest of this project and the faves and comment, have fun like i had;-D

Flat iron, is that basicly a hair straightener?

Creative recyling project ! I just ever seen a pig made from papers (paper-mache) with a hole for saving money, not plastic like this.

this is a very cute idea! once before, i also crafted a pig like this but i used a balloon for the body and i cut an egg carton to shape the ears, legs and the nose. i sticked everything together wrapped plaster bandages around it. finally, i coulered the pig with pink acrylic paint.
