I assume you mean making an uke sized form to go over it and are asking about using the same blanket and setup. I haven't done it but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I suppose you would need new springs since the body length would be so much shorter. Your sides would be a lot shorter too leaving more blanket to overhang. It might be a good idea to clamp something to the hanging ends to be a bit of a heatsink. If your sides end up being less than half the width (body depth) of your blanket, you could bend them at the same time.

got the bending form made and pics of it in my fox bender. Will work on the slats and springs.
