  8. Paint the blue narwhal’s belly with light blue acrylic craft paint and the purple narwhal’s belly with lavender acrylic craft paint. Let it dry and apply a second coat, if wanted.
  9. Trace the narwhal horn pattern twice onto the grey cardstock with a pencil and cut it out.
  10. Attach two googly eyes to each face with the glue gun.
  11. Create cheeks by dipping a sponge dabber in pink acrylic craft paint and stamping on either side of the face.
  12. Attach the tail and fins with the glue gun.
