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.
