Once all components are made, sew beak to head and head to body. For the tail, I crochet a chain of 50-60 and thread it through the body between rows 10 and 11 (right between the puff stitches and the double crochet stitches. Fill with your favorite candy and pull drawstring shut! These make GREAT Easter basket gifts as well as decorations for spring. You can also attach this poem:
I am your little poopy duck
And this is what I'll do:
Just squeeze my sides together
And I'll drop a treat for you
