Very cute! We just returned from a beach vacation where we saw plenty of sea horse “stuff”.
Oh fun! This is perfect for you then!
Pleae include a template next time for those who may have trouble transferring the pattern. Thanks!
This post was prepared by a friend so she didn’t have a template but I couldn’t help but share the idea! I strive to include templates whenever possible because I am not artsy either! Hope you enjoyed the craft. Have a great day!
