In this tutorial I will show you the various steps to create a leather cantled horsehair sporran. I will post the first pics on fri. Hopefully.Horsehair1.jpg This is what I will attempt to make it look like. (Thanks to artificer custom sporrans for the pic)

Sorry I didn't post any pics as I thought my aunt shipped the horsehair (she owns/boards horses) on wed. But she hasn't shipped it yet so it may me a week or so before I get started.

"Well, I sure am sorry, Ma'am ~ but your horse got his tail caught in the combine harvester and we had to amputate. Don't worry, the vet said it'll grow back."

All the hair is from brushing.

Well as it turns out, most o f the hair is black so it will be black with white tassels. Will get started soon.

A bag of horse hair is more like a piece of felt! Might be week or two longer...

Sorry I haven't got started yet but I have been playing highland tailor by: making a modern kilt, altering my harris tweed sportcoat into a braemar (I am about 3 months in and only half way done but now that I've got the basics done it should be easy), altering a sportcoat to wear w/ tr©us£rs, making a sporran and a sgian dubh. So at this pace I should be posting the first photos of the step by step in about 5 yrs (not really, about a week or two)
