Your cabin fever will pass once the weather gets better. 

Seriously your ideas are sound just make sure that like the stuffers these decoys stay dry. The skins once dry will be brittle and can break easily so be carefull

Good Luck

They can work.  Tried a few mounts on the west side and they fall apart when they get wet.  I did several crude mounts for mallard field decoys and they worked very well for about 2 seasons.  i would buy some foam bodes from Van Dykes or the similar and mount them that way.  You can do a mount to get you buy in about 2 hours or less.  Just make sure to get a fleshing wheel or the feathers start falling out and the fat leaks out of the bottom of the mount.
