A Drug Free Door......Duck Dynasty Style

It's red ribbon week this week, celebrating being drug free. My daughter is in 1st grade and doesn't know what drugs are, but that's beside the point. Knowledge is power......right?!?!

Anyways, my daughter's teacher asked me to decorate their classroom door for the Red Ribbon Week door decorating contest. I agreed, but had no idea what to do. I love a good contest though so after much thought and consideration I decided to go with none other than a Duck Dynasty theme. Everyone loves the Robertson boys right?

I used quilt batting, spray paint, yellow poster board, camouflage fabric and orange card stock. First, I laid out the roll of batting (cost about $6) and cut it to size and the shape of a beard. Then I used brown and gray spray paint ($2 each) and coated the batting. First I sprayed the brown spray paint on the batting and then went over it with the gray spray paint. It dried fairly quickly.

I bought a piece of yellow poster board ($1) and cut it into the shape of a duck beak. Then I cut a slit in the “beard” that was a little smaller than the beak. I folded the poster board a little to resemble a beak and then poked it through the slit.

Thankfully my Mom came up to the school with me to help me assemble it all. She had some camouflage fabric so we used that as the “bandana” and I used my scrapbook machine and cardstock to cut out the letters. It ended up being a fun project and I think it turned out pretty good. I haven’t checked out the competition but we’re hoping for a win!
