Finishing:
1. Sew on side fins to the sides of the whale.
2. Sew the pupils (black) onto the eyes (white), then sew the eyes on the sides of the head.
3. Using yarn needle and whatever mouth color you like, embroider the mouth onto the whale.
4. I also used a tiny amount of black yarn and embroidered a small ‘x’ on the top.
