    How do you make a papier mache pig? I know the papier mache bit but how do you make it pig shaped?

    I had a terrible day on Sunday, went Christmas shopping and got a lot of presents but somewhere betwen 1 shop and the car, I lost a bag containing £28 worth of pressies!!!! (I originally thought it was £25 but recalculated!) I am so gutted, not just the loss of cash but also the fact I'll have to go and buy it all again when I thought I was on top of the shopping.

    PLus our Advantage card machine isn't working...

    And to top it all - my home made piggy collapsed! I'd made the mistake of making the legs out of lou roll tubes and they turned to mush! I was so miffed I just decided to give up and bought a Harry Potter tub from Poundland.

    The only upside was that I came home with a purse full of change to start the challenge, so Voldemort is pretty heavy already!

    Blow up a balloon, tie a knot in it, sellotape the egg carton pieces to the balloon. The cover with paier mache. Once the papier mache is comletely dry you can stick a pin in and burst the balloon, and cut a slot in the back for the coins to go in.

    Thanks Ikkleosu - I also stuck an egg carton on the narrow end where you tie the knot to make a snout. By the way mine is called Spot - its an Old Essex Spotted Pig !!!!!!
