Oh this brings me back to my childhood :D We used to make Piggy Banks like that. We basically just blew air into a balloon till it was big enough for our desired piggy bank size. Then we sealed the vent by making a knot into it and were putting the newspaper pieces and glue onto it, covering it nicely. Then added a few cardboard pieces from old Egg packages (the ones you get your eggs in at the supermarket) and used them for the nose, the ears and the feet. And just like shown here, we used something as a skin afterwards for the ears and nose and feet so they would be seemless with the the rest. And when it all dried we were then painting it and cutting a little slot on the top. It was so much fun to do :)

Thank you *so much !*, man. Your technique is so simple, efficient, easy to make, that I don't know how I didn't think about this before ! ! !. Therefore, it may be because I'm not a genius, but you do !. LOL. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing your method with us. About the Oven, I have a very important question for you: Has you tried with a Microwave Oven ?. I really appreciate you reply, because this would be much easier than using a conventional oven. Thank you so much again and many greetings for you from Chile (South America). Cheers, John.

+jhonny1392 Sorry to be late in my reply, but i have been travelling in USA and Canada - great trip. I wouldn't think a microwave would work, as it is likely simply to boil the water in the orange and paste and blow the thing apart. Using dry heat in a convebntional oven (less than boiling point) dries everything, making it hard without distorting it. - Rob

CuriosityShow Thanks a lot for your kind words about my country, mister. Well, if you don't have time right now, I'm sure you'll have it in the future. So, is just a matter of time and patience for now and I'm sure you'll be back if you really want it. If some day you decide to come again, I strongly recommend to visit the South of Chile in deep. There you'll find one of the most beautiful places in the whole world, but for discover that, you have to leave main highway and go into the branch and more country side roads. Here is where the real beauty is waiting for ... And then, you'll discover that is not necessary go so far into our south territory, because the best part is very far from our south border. Cheers again, and many, many thanks for your commentary. Sincerely, John from Viña del Mar, Chile.

@@alexandrawessel4717 , try something more like 90°C. If you get above 100°C, you'll boil the water in the orange, which won't help. But 50°C, which is just like a very hot day, or the temperature in a closed car on a warm, sunny day, will hasten spoiling faster than it will *dry* and *shrink* the orange.

Hadley Roberts I made an entire Punch and Judy set for my young son. In short, the neck is made from a cardboard tube. Roll and stick card into a tube; this is the neck. Cut "turrets" at one end of this neck, flare them out and stick the tabs to the bottom of the head (continuing the hole by cutting out the papier mache head inside the tube if your finger is long enough to reach through the neck). Then stick an extra "collar' of card around the bottom of the neck. This stops cloths falling off the neck. Make clothes however you like - sticking felt together, sewing etc, but with a drawstring at the top. this goes over the neck's collar and is drawn tight and knotted.
