Attention, duck lovers—this guide is for you!

Inside, you’ll find a printable template for building the duck’s internal frame, making it easy to create a lightweight, durable, and perfectly symmetrical base—without complicated measurements or endless trial and error.

The template is available in two print versions:

  • US Letter — 6 template pages
  • A4 — 7 template pages

Please select your preferred print version before adding the product to your cart. You will receive the selected version only.

But that’s only the beginning.

Along with the printable template, you’ll receive a detailed step-by-step guide that takes you through the entire process—from the very first piece of cardboard to a beautifully finished duck sculpture.

You’ll learn how to:

  • assemble the frame;
  • reinforce and cover it;
  • prepare papier-mâché clay;
  • sculpt the details;
  • sand the surface until smooth;
  • paint your duck;
  • apply a protective coat of varnish.

The internal frame acts as a sturdy skeleton, giving your sculpture strength while keeping it lightweight and perfectly shaped.

Whether you’re creating your first papier-mâché project or already have experience, this guide will save you hours of trial and error and help you achieve professional-quality results with confidence.

Once you’ve mastered the basic duck, you can customize it with your own colors, accessories, and creative ideas to create one-of-a-kind pieces for your home, thoughtful gifts, or products to sell.
