**Thomas H** · 26th March 13, 07:00 AM

Tahnk you for the advise , I found the Barge rubber cement at a Hobby Lobby in a small
squeeze tube for about $8.00 US . So i grab it up .
I am going to try this over the week end so to take my time.
I will let you all know how it turns out.

I hope no one or nothing pulls on the hair LOL , But I understand the heads up .
I am going to try it .
Thank you

If you bend each small hair bundle over at the top where you tie it in, pulling will not be an issue, glue or no glue.

Ok so I need to bend it over once at the ends and sew between the bends ?
that is a great idea thank you
I will try that as well

Difficult to describe, but think making a hook of the top end of the horsehair (very small) bundles. There are illustrations online for stringing porcupine guard hair the same way for roach head pieces. (Sorry, I don't have the links at hand right now)

Thomas, this page illustrates the method. The application in the example is deer hair for a porky roach, but applies nicely to a horsehair sporran as well.

Hi Thomas,
Can you show us the process? I´m thinking on making a sporran, but don´t know where to start it.
Cheers, Eddie.
