PRINCESS RUBBER DUCK

Recently, a close friend and his wife had twin girls.  I promised that I would make them something for the twins a few months ago.  Unfortunately, it has been hectic around my house since then and the twins’ birth came 2 months early.  I am finally getting to make the items that I promised them.  My friend’s wife is crazy about rubber ducks, so I decided to make Princess Rubber Ducks for the twins.  The actual versions that I made for the twins had their names on the necklace.  The color list includes the colors used for both versions.
