Day sporran to semi-dress sporran

[rmmcscott]

Now that would be cool. I have seen silver chains at the fabric store and at the hobby store (for jewelry--necklaces and the like). How would you go about making a fur tassel? A cylinder of fur would look ok but need a metal base for it--preferably to match the chain.

As far as sporran making goes, I would love to try my hand at a fur evening sporran but cannot find a nice cantle to go on it. The closest thing I have seen is a metal top designed for a ladies purse and this doesn't look quite the same (a bit too "girly"). I even did a google search but came up empty. Anybody have any suggestions?

I've looked around for a nice cantle too, but can't find one. Anyone know where we can get one?

I'm going out on a corny limb here, but what if you used matching rabbits feet? Would that be too much or silly?

I have used the shinny metal cake decorating tips from craft stores (big ones) for the metal bases. As to tails,ermine work the best for me. Rabbit also works but sheds.

as to a source, contact me. In the muzzle loading community, we have ready access to furs (rendezvous, trade shows etc. Tails are fairly cheap @ times)

Try here some of the nicest cantles I've ever seen out there.
