Subject: Re: PUPT: Mascots


make it of one inch thick foam rubber... and contact cement...
You can use a commercial pattern for a stuffed pig.. or a variation 
of any standard sides and center gusset type pattern...
cover with a stretch fabric...MUCH easier to get it smooth!

write to me if you need help... I've made TONS of mascots...
