I am planning on doing a small halloween party for the people at my barn, and since my horse is a paint, I thought going as an indian would be cool. But I would like to make some simple beaded tack, something to make her bridle look a little authentic, even though its not ^_^ any one know how to make a beaded bridle and could tell me how?
The easiest way would be to buy strips of pre-woven beads.
You can then glue that to a strip of cloth that you have folded over and sewn a seam down one edge. Slide it over your brow band or where ever.
True Native American bead work take a lot if time, practice and patience.
You can also get pre-made rosettes to use.
Tandy leather has a good selection and has stores in most major cities. Can also buy off of their web sight.

Glue color full beads onto the bridle or you could measure the brow band and any other places you want to put it. Then take a bit of brown cloth or leather that matches the measurements and attach it with transparent thread, string, glue, tape or anything else you can think of. Make sure the colors are colorful and they look really authentic. You might want to try googling it.

For a browband you could weave a beaded one or you could make a large friendship braclet and use that.

the best way i found is to go realistic most indian dress for their horse was feathers &painted hand prints &stuff like that but if you want beads you could go to a craft store and bye beaded rounds &put them where the bow ban &the throat latch meet then hang feathers from there
