Has anyone decorated their own rubber duck, like http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS.../chrisficti-20 ? If you did, what did you paint it with? What patterns/shapes? What tools, did you use anything other than the brush it came with? How did it turn out? Did you paint the whole duck yellow first, and then use the other colors on top? Are you willing to share pictures?

Yes, I'm that uncreative and unartistic, but I want to try!

I thought I'd seen everything rubber duck! I have never seen this!

My whole family is really into ducks...

Can't answer your question, but that's cool!

OK I am going to try and answer a little for you. I have never done a duck BUT I have done altered my little ponies so I assume it would work the same way. They are no longer for play at that point though just show. I just just plain thinned acrylic pain for eyes and cutie marks and I freehanded mostly. Also you can use RIT dye on plastic prior to the painting to alter the plastics color. I have heard of people using rub on stickers for decoration which is an option for those who can't draw. Hope that helps at least a little. You might want to try a dollar store duck for practice.

What a great idea for some of our beat up rubber ducks!
