Flatten Tube except where you stuffed the head. Sew tube shut.

Finishing:
The tricky part to the shell is the roll and stitch. The simplest way I found is to have a separate strand of yarn (not an end), roll and tack down at every turn. Then put needle through the shell so the strand doesn’t show.
