Ok.. The first thing you need is flock... This is the cheapest place I have found it. You could get a 1/4 pound, but I bought the one pound to redo some goose decoys...

Then you need to get some flat black rustoleum paint, I usually get a quart. Looks like this...

Then you need a tote of some sort, big enough to fit the decoy in, with a little bit of extra lengt and width on the sides, but not a real tall one..  Then you need a oil brush, and some rubber gloves. What you are going to do is paint everywhere that you want the flock. You do not want to do the eyeballs or beak, get a small thing of semigloss black to do those.. Once you "paint" the decoy where you want the flocking, you get the flocking ready. What I do is dump most of the flocking in the tote, and while holding the decoy over it, I sprinkle or just cover the decoy with the flocking... Some people do it differently here, but this is how I do it. Once I get alot of the flock on the decoy, I squeeze the flocking onto the decoy with my hands (here is where you want the gloves). Once I squeeze it on real good, I shake the decoy over the tote to get the excess off..  I usually let the decoys dry for a couple of days.. I shake them again after a couple of days, and if I miss some spots, I just put some paint over the spot, and repeat the process..  You want to use the flat paint, so if you knock off the the flocking, it is just flat black underneath it.. If anyone is in the central Ohio area, I can show you how to do it in person..
