5. The Classic PVC Pipe Duck

Advertisements

A simple and cheerful duck figure is a classic PVC project. This design uses basic cuts and assembly to form a recognizable silhouette.

1. Materials and Tools Needed

Collect: 2-inch diameter PVC pipe (about 2 feet), a PVC end cap of the same diameter, a hacksaw, file, yellow and orange spray paint, black marker, PVC cement, and a wooden dowel or small pipe for the neck.

2. Creating the Duck's Body

The body is made from a short section of the large pipe. Cut a piece approximately 8 inches long. Take the end cap—this will be the duck's head. To create the beak, make a single straight cut about 1.5 inches deep into the rim of the end cap, then cut out a small wedge from that slit and sand it into a rounded beak shape.

3. Final Assembly and Detailing

Cement the end cap (head) to one end of the wooden dowel. Cement the other end of the dowel to the inside top edge of the body pipe, creating the neck. For a tail, cut a small curved piece from leftover pipe and cement it to the rear. Paint the entire body and head bright yellow. Paint the beak orange. Once dry, use a black permanent marker to draw a friendly eye on each side of the head.
