Sew the dorsal fin to the top of the body, centered along the back, between the two black stripes. Sew the caudal fin (tail fin) to the very back of the clownfish body. Attach the keychain ring to the top of the clownfish, centered on the dorsal fin, or slightly in front of it. Weave in all remaining ends.
