Tack Reference & How-to Books

BK1: Braiding Cords & Straps for Scale Miniature Tack by Melody D. Snow (The Unicorn Woman): This booklet teaches how to do basic cord & strap braiding. It combines material from my braiding workshops with some from my kits plus new goodies! It covers braiding basics, Inset Braiding, 3 Strand Flat Braiding, 4 Strand Round Braiding, and 3 versions of 5 Strand Flat Braiding. Booklet is illustrated with black/white & COLOR illustrations. On the color photos, different colored cords are used so you can follow the path of the cord in the braid! Specific projects are not included in this booklet, though you can purchase kits that cover specific braided projects separately. (See below). It does NOT teach knot work at this time, though hints are included for faking knots and braids. Booklet comes loose-leafed and 3 ring binder punched for you to put in your own binder.
