How to make a
Halter

Right then. First you'll need to get your victim *ahem* model. I prefer to use unpainted resins or Breyer "bodies" so you don't damage your model during the process.

Then you need to get your supplies. Here you can see leather lacing, pliers, scissors, 2 mini clamps, 3 jump rings, 1 buckle and 2 3 slot halter rings. Also need glue of your choice.
You can use jump rings instead of the halter rings.

Start off by putting the leather thru a jump ring/side slot on halter ring), glue and clamp closed until dry.

Put against model and measure where the leather needs to go. Use your nail at stop point and bend leather. Cut a bit below that and put on other halter ring.

When I say bend leather I mean like this. It's just so you have a mark.

Then do the same for under the muzzle

Then put on model to recheck size.

Do same for side checking size

Same for other side also put buckle on leather

By this point you should have the noseband and cheekpeices done.
Now glue the leather to the jump ring (offside) for the headpiece leaving it long enough to be buckled up.

On other side measure where you want the buckle to go, snip leather and glue to jump ring. Fasten up.

Now recheck whole thing fits.
Glue leather to bottom of off side jump ring. Then measure around under throat to other ring, bend leather, cut and glue to bottom of that jump ring.

Now lay model down, bend leather at 1 end, put over noseband with jump ring and glue. Measure to throatlatch, bend, snip and glue

Halter should look like this

Put back on horse for final fitting.
For lead rope attach a jump ring to a hook, glue leather to jump ring. Make leather as long as you want, cut then make a loop ad glue but leave a hole for dolls hand.

The final product!
