Rubber Duck Crafts
Rubber duck crafts work especially well in a bathroom but can also work in other areas of the house, including children's rooms or a play room. They can work as an overall decorating theme or complement an existing theme. If you need many rubber ducks for multiple crafts, consider sourcing lightly used rubber ducks from discount warehouses, yard or garage sales.

Rubber Duck Wreath
-
Purchase the foundation for a holiday wreath -- a metal or wooden ring that you can weave material around -- and create a rubber duck wreath. Cover the wreath with shreds of quilting fabric in bright colors and attach rubber ducks to the wreath. Space smaller ducks every one to two inches; larger ducks every two to three inches. You can also cover the entire wreath in miniature rubber ducks, attached with clips on the back. This is a funkier yet more labor-intensive process and you will not need any of the quilting fabric for the latter option.
Rubber Duck in Ceramic Bathtub
-
Another cute rubber duck craft is a rubber duck in a ceramic bathtub. Test out your ceramics skills by making a ceramic bathtub (you will need ceramic-making and mixing supplies as well as a mold resembling a small bathtub) and painting it in bright, cheery colors that complement the rubber duck. Add the rubber duck to the final, dry unit.

Rubber Duck Aquarium
-
Find an old aquarium. Clean it throughly and create a bath-time scene with rubber ducks. You can make a bathtub out of cardboard or ceramic and add papier-mache hanging fish and rubber ducks.
Rubber Duck Mount
-
If you have a special rubber duck in your home, such as one from childhood, you can mount the duck in a shadow box to preserve it as a special memento. Use a shadow box, your choice of background fabric and screws to close the unit, creating a special home for this beloved item.
