Tassels Bridle
How to make this arabian bridle??
So I'm showing my horse at the fair this year(Aug. 17-21) and im entering in the costume class. I've decided i want to do an arabian outfit but im not sure how to make it. I want like the bedouin outfit(for me) and the bridle and breastcollar with all the tassels that hang off it for the horse. I have a site here ive been looking at and its what i want to have, but id like to try to make it all instead of buying it. for the bridle ive thought if making like aslip cover with fancy beads and stuff and just slip it over one of my bridles i already have. any ideas on how to make this outfit??(and my mom is really good at sewing too.)

o sry that link doesnt go to the bridle but on the left side you can choose halters(I thought i'd just add the bit onto the halter) but the link it does go to is the outfit for me
Go to your local super-store (less expensive) and look through the yarns 'til you find one(s) that you like. Some have gold or silver 'threads' running through them, for more 'flash'.
Look at the tassels at the store and see how they're made, maybe get one for a model to use at home.
Make yourself a form (wood, cardboard, plastic) that is the length you want the tassels on the Breast Collar to be. Wrap the yarn around the form to make a nice, thickish tassel.
Using the store tassel as a guide, you can make as many as you need, as lush as you want and at a fraction of the price you would pay for ready made.
The 'sleeve' is a good idea for the breast collar and easier to attach tassels to. Good luck!
