Just instantiate a new Model object with the form attributes assigned to
the proper model attributes, and save the object. If you happen to name
your form fields the same as your model fields, then you can just use
cleaned_data directly:
{{{
form_data = {}
for form in form_list:
form_data.update(form.cleaned_data)
m = Model.objects.create(**form_data)
}}}
