* Sew or glue Cheeks & Flowers in desired location.

* Use black puff paint or embroidery floss to create desired mouth.

* Align Surfboard halves so ends of rows match. SC around both pieces to join together. Stuff with Poly-fil prior to completing stitching. If you want your edging to match, make sure you change colors as you SC around. Make sure you work in a counterclockwise direction so your stitches face forward.
