Fold the sides of the fold down leaving a little bit of space to get "wings."

You will notice that there is a triangular overlap on one of the wings. Cut along it. On the other wing, cut out a congruent triangle in the same place.

The Face

Refold the bird in half, then draw eyes, nostrils and a beak on the triangular parts you cut out on both sides.

Unfold

This the big finish! Just unfold the wings, and you have a duck! You may want to tape the head portion together... It looks weird if you don't.

You're Done!!!
