    Sew a straight running stitch ¼” from the outside edge, leaving about a 1.5” opening in the center of the tail. You may want to go back over the edge where the ribbon is to reinforce it a bit more. Click picture to the left for details.

    Cut notches out at the seam allowance around the fish. Click picture to the left for details.

    Step 6:
    Turn right side out.

    Step 7:
    Stuff with catnip and fiber stuffing.

    Step 8:
    Fold in seam allowance at the opening of the tail and slip-stitch closed.

    Step 9:
    Take the bamboo stick and carefully drill a hole about 1.5” down from the tip of the stick. Slide ribbon through the hole, and then tie a knot at the end so it doesn’t slip through the hole from the pressure of a cat playing with it on the other end.
