Thanks to Laurie Ann Woo for giving me the idea for this pig after she saw my Penguin Nugget Holder.
Tail: I Used a swirl punch and weakened the CS fibers between my finger and a bone folder, the way you would do curling ribbon with scissors. Then I curled it tighter with my fingers so it resembled a pig's tail and inserted the end into a little slit that I cut in the back and secured on the inside with tape.
Ears: I just cut 2 little triangles and rounded the ends, colored in the pink part and curled the tips down a little.
Snout: I tried the double circle punch but found that the holes were slightly too big and far apart. Instead, I punched 2 holes using the 1/8" circle punch and then punched upside down with the 1/2" circle punch, positioning the "nostrils" slightly to the bottom. Attach using 1/2 of a dimensional.
Eyes: Use the double circle punch to punch holes directly in the body, then attach a white scrap on the inside and dot pupils with marker.
Feet: punched using small oval punch, cut off slightly less than 1/2 for each foot.
Finally, insert the nugget using sticky strip and tie the top with a piece of ribbon using the
