All fish have a sensory organ called the "lateral line" that senses the flow of water.

Usually there is only one running, but occasionally some fish have lateral lines that are forked.

There are so many different colors to choose from, it's fun! I'm happy to be able to make something original just for me!

Thank you for your detailed instructions and I was able to make a very cute keychain ✨ Thank you very much. 😊 I'll definitely make it again!

I would like to participate again!

I think it's quite difficult to make something by hand using fish leather, so I'm glad I was able to participate!

It was meant to be a Father's Day gift, but I had so much fun that I ended up making one for myself too.
