Does anyone know where I can get instructions for this sea horse?

Someone on hip girl directed me to the little lady bug and I like that but the lady sent me this one as an example of what she likes.

I also, need a mermaid tut and turtle. She is wanting me to match the Greek Isle Gymboree line.....
TIA

Thats really cute! It looks like it is the military braid just done with different size ribbon? I'll mess with the style and if I can figure it out I'll write out instructions! But if you find them...please post :)

The only instructions I know of is the version from Little Pink Ladybug.

It looks from the example you posted that you will need to do the military braid for both the body and the tail. Then the rest looks pretty self-explainatory.

Vanitha (owner of Posh N Pretty) has a tutorial for a turtle, http://www.poshnpretty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=331&highlight=turtle

You could probably adapt the little mermaid instructions to match what you need. There are a couple different versions of the mermaid instructions on Hip Girl. Just do a search for them. :)

if you don't know how to do the military braid, you can learn from this video

the body of the sea horse is made with 3/8 ribbon and the tail is made with 1/8 ribbon. the little spikes are 1/8 ribbon and the 3 ones on the back is 1/4 ribbon.
i can try making a quick tut for it, but it might be a day or two before i can.

Ooh! That's really cute. I like it!

[Joellevh]

That's adorable! I will be watching this thread. :)

that person has some super cute sculptures I love her peacock as well but I think it would be strange as a hair clippie and her alligator is really cute too

Heather, why not--the designs were beautiful and clever. Of course we want to make them!!
