Fold the wings flat and use the long tails to attach them on top of the body over rnds 21–22.
Use black embroidery floss to stitch a smile between the eyes.
Take a small amount of pink yarn and add some cheeks under each eye.
Weave in any remaining ends.

Finishing tips: stitch the wings securely so they sit flat, and add firm stuffing to the stinger so it holds its shape. Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds when changing colours.
