Horsehair Sporran Making: How to Attach Hair?

[DotDLL]

I am thinking of making a long, horsehair sporran, and I am researching how one might best prepare and attach the main panel of hair to the sporran. I'd like to try prevent the hair from falling out over time, if at all possible, as I have a few long-hair sporrans that I've acquired elsewhere for which the hair can fall out.

I've seen a few web-forum posts and threads about horsehair sporran construction, including some on XMarks. Here are a few links to such:

• "How are hair sporrans constructed?", http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...tructed-95570/
• "~~UPDATED~~ HOW TO MAKE A HAIR SPORRAN", https://kiltedunited.forumotion.net/...a-hair-sporran
• "Step-by-step construction of a hair sporran-", https://kiltedunited.forumotion.net/...a-hair-sporran

To note, the sporran I'm thinking of making would not contain a pouch, and would likely be a layered-panel with hair, a cantle, loop(s) for a sporran strap, and perhaps a few smaller adornments (tassels, etc.)

My understanding of the process for attaching hair to the sporran seems to be:

1. make many small bundles of hair, each tied on one end with thread
2. sew and glue the each bundle, near their tied part, in multiple rows, to a sporran-shaped piece of canvas
3. attach the canvas to a piece of thick leather backing

For anyone with knowledge of horsehair sporran construction:

1. does the above process sound correct?
2. any tips, particularly in regards to adding durability via construction technique, material, or other?

Any and all advice on, or resources regarding this are welcome!

Cheers!
