Here's where I've got to so far:
I think I will try using a dolly peg for the beak instead.
Anyone any bright ideas how to make the feet - cardboard is no good. Is there some easily acquired possibly wooden object with a hole in that would do the trick? Think... think...
Second Boring Event Of The Day:
I ran out of coffee.

Love the colours! He/she looks fantastic so far.
Thanks! :) The pattern definitely works, it's only three simple cuts, two seams and then stitching on the wings. I'm not 100% happy about painting on the eyes but not sure buttons are easy enough.
It's fun trying to work out something super-easy, based on what I observed when making monkeys with children...
things - lolly sticks? Or those wooden paddles you get with tubs of ice-cream? Or did they phase those out between the late 1970s and now?
Oh the paddles aren't bad... but no holes, and though I could drill some I don't want to drill 400 of them. Something like ice cream paddles but with a good way of fixing a piece of string...
This This This! But whence? Whence?
How huggy and delicious...
feet...hmmmmm.....icecream lids stamped out in your pattern of feet....thinking ducks and flat and spread and blue.........hmmm...will keep thinking
It's so lovely! :-)
Hmm, thinking... but having no thoughts as of yet. Drilling holes shouldn't take too long, though, if you have a power drill and set them up like an assembly line.
cheap packs of playing cards and hole punch and nice patterned backs ( you know the red or green or black patterns the cards have) you could cut each card across and fold a little duck foot concertina ???
or bubble wrap, cut into feet shapes for extra poppin' duck fun????
