Following is EXACTLY what
I used and how I did this. Being not crafty type,
I visited the craft store and she (bless her
heart) sat with me 1 hour and
put one together, telling me what to use, how to
use it, why to use it all
the while I was able to tell her about PMU
foals.!!! She was clueless on
the issue.
Following are the directions as I watched her
create a ribbon:
1) 9 1/2 inches long horse tail hair-all one
length. Beading wire gage 34
to hold the hairs nice and tight for when you
mess around with the ribbon.
"Hair is slippery". Spritz hair with
water first. It was also helpful to
spritz with diluted hair conditioner (I used
Infusium 23). This is the key
step, take time to secure your loop with beading
wire as you wish. I used
hemostats to hold and pull and twist the wire.
Needle nosed pliers would
work too. This is a good time to think loving
thoughts about what you are
doing because hair is unruly. I thought of Casper
the friendly ghost as
this seemed to be the shape I was attempting to
create. Price is
$1.49/spool.
.
2) Use Spool of Ribbon, 10 yards/spool, 1/8 inch
width. Use MAROON (most
common Premarin strength), SUNSHINE YELLOW (2nd
most common pill color seen)
and FORREST GREEN( 3rd most common pill color
seen). Loop 8 inches of
ribbon (all 3 colors) through hair, loop
downward. Bring the ribbons tails
through the ribbon loop and gently pull and
position (this is a slip knot).
Curl each ribbon end with a pair of scissors. The
price was .99/spool.
3) Use E 6000 tube glue (strong stuff) and affix
an acrylic round clear
crystal size 30ss on top of the ribbon. I choose
to use the back of the
slip knot area as the crystal fit in snug there.
Let set overnight to set.
$4.99/tube glue and $1.35/pack of 20 crystals.
4) Affix to clothing with a 2 inches pearl head
pin (corsage pin). Pin from
inside of shirt to hide the head. .09/pin
When Asked:
"This is my tear for the 50,000 baby horses
produced through the Premarin
Company who face the slaughter process yearly.
