Adding Conchos to headstall?

[Adding Conchos to headstall?]

Hi! I thought of that, but I don't know if it would be bumpy and bulky on his forehead. I honestly do not know how those Chicago screws work since everything I have are either buckle or leather ties.

Hello and WELCOME!

This is not my area of expertise, but couldn't you install the concho and sew a flap of leather over the screw back to protect the horse? Just a Thought....

[Adding Conchos to headstall?]

Hi everyone! I am totally new to this forum and very excited about learning a lot about how to work with leather. Ihave a very nice black leather scalloped headstall that I would like to add either conchos or beads to the brow band. The conchos that I have found come with a screw backing, the problem that I see is: Wouldn't that poke into the horses head? They are Chicago screws.

Can someone help me please with how to apply these conchos? I would also be interested in possibly adding some "bling" to it as well.

Thanks!

WOW! I LOVE it!!

Hi Everyone, i've finished my first project so i thought i'd post it! Pretty proud of it actually and i've had it on my horse and it hasn't fallen apart I'm making a breast plate at the moment and next year i'll start on my saddle. I wanted to make couple of smaller (ie: easier) things to get used to cutting / sewing etc. Hans (our teacher) is a "sew by hand" saddler so that's what we're doing too! C ya I hope i attach the pic properly!
