You can lightly stuff it with a tiny bit of fiberfill before finishing the stitches. ​Wings: Sew the wings symmetrically onto the sides of the upper body, about 1–2 rounds below the neck line. Point the tips slightly backward. ​Feet: Sew the feet side-by-side onto the bottom of the body so the duck looks balanced and sitting nicely. ​Hat and Keychain: Position the hat slightly tilted on the duck's head and secure it with a few hidden stitches. Finally, attach your keychain hardware right through the center top of the hat (where the magic ring is) and secure it tightly.
