1. Make a template of a duck from a book or you can draw it freehand.

2. Cut a duck body shape and wing from the yellow fleece.

3. Cut a beak from the orange fleece, and tie a small piece of ribbon around the duck's head.

4. Using Fabri-Tac, adhere the duck body to the center of the onesie -- about 1-1/2" below the neckline.

5. Using a Sharpie marker, make a dot for the eye -- and using a needle and thread, sew the body to the onesie.

6. Sew the wing on only at one corner so that it stays moveable (figure A).

7. Sew the beak on with orange thread, and sew the rickrack around the neckline.

8. Cut 3 small squares of yellow fleece and fold in half on the diagonal and cut the petal shape out.

9. Cut 2 leaves out of the light green fleece, and glue yellow petal elements together to form a flower and glue the leaves behind the flower.

10. Glue the white pompon in the center of the flower (figure B).

11. Glue the finished flower onto the hanger.

12. Fold the top over and punch two holes in a large cellophane bag.

13. Place the onesie and hanger into the bag (figure C).

14. Tie the bag closed with a length of seam binding (figure D).

15. Punch a tag with the large paper punch and punch a small hole in the tag.

16. Tie the tag onto the bag with monofilament.
