The popularity of Duck Dynasty prompted me to create a fall display for hunting and TV fans.
This collection of ducks is perfect for a rustic fall mantle or Thanksgiving table centerpiece.
I found several ducks while shopping at Goodwill stores. The ceramic ones were popular 20 years ago in country kitchens. I was excited to give them each a new life.
It was cold when I spray painted the ceramic duck head. The second and third coats of paint turned into a crackle finish. It was unexpected, but perfect.
The wood decoy is simply camouflaged with duct tape.
You would never know that hidden under the newsprint and papier-mâché is the old cutesy country duck!Start with a piece of burlap, add a wood placemat and arrange the ducks on old books. Layer pinecones, string and copper oak leaves. You have a mantle display that will look great until you’re ready for Christmas.
