    Paper Mache, ten layers. The first five are with out the nose, ears, legs and tail, then you put those on with masking tape, I use part of a paper egg crate. after you tape them in place 5 more layers of paper and then let dry for 3 to 5 days, depending on weather and how dry they get, but you really want them totally dry, then I put on the layer of fabric, topped off with clear coat, two coats. Cut your coin slot before you put on fabric layer and use a stelletto to push fabric around money slot. I don't put a cork on mine but I know if you want to you can get them at Michael's. Cut your hole for the plug same time you cut the money slot.

    I think I have the tutorial on my blog page, I will check it out and put a link if i do.
