Finish:

• Position the wings on either side of the body and attach using yarn needle and yarn tails, with a whip stitch.
• Embroider the face using an embroidery needle and embroidery thread. I used pink for mouth and made a “V” shape but feel free to embroider any kind of mouth you wish. Use the white thread to make fangs on either side of the mouth.
