Step 1
Take several pieces of white bead styrofoam and glue them together until you have the thickness you want for your decoy.
-
Step 2
Using the knife, saw and surfoam shaper, cut the styrofoam into a duck's body shape.
-
Step 3
Take a paint brush and paint the entire decoy with polyurethane.
-
Step 4
Put the wet decopy in your box or bag of sawdust.
-
Step 5
Remove your decoy and shake off any excess sawdust. Then let the decoy dry. This will help to give texture to your decoy.
-
Step 6
Paint the decoy a realistic color that is representative of a type of duck you might find in the wild.
-
Step 7
Attach a wood keel with screws to the bottom of your duck decoy.
-
Step 8
Using the same process that you used to creat the body of your duck decoy, create the head of the duck decoy.
-
Step 9
When the head is completed, attach the head by putting an eyebolt up through the bottom of the body of your decoy and into the neck with epoxy.
-
Step 10
You should have an inch diameter hole in your decoy where the head sits, now take a heavy rubber band and attach it to the eyebolt. Put it through the hole and then secure it on the notch located on your wood keel.
