I start with a piece of leather (I was lucky cause I could measure my old one) and slice a hole in the end where it goes around the bosal, then cut 2 more holes so I could weave it in and out. Solid and pretty with no metal pieces :)
Its kinda hard to weave it in and out, while still keeping it flat, but the softer the leather, the easier. Then a shorter one on the other side attached the same way.
And it just ties like a rope halter, with the end piece facing away from eye.
And it is perfect with those weaves cause the mecarte I got to go with them has the same weaving on the ends of it :) Tying them is a little harder, whew I really had to think about that!
But now that I look at it and see them done, I want to switch these with my other hanger cause it is thinner and I think would look nicer on the smaller bosal. Which I could do cause I wanna take my other hanger off and clean the bosal anyways, so that may be my next project.

WOW! You did a great job :)
Looks great . Nice job !
Nice! You're right though...the lighter weight leather would probably go better with the small bosal. Looks great though!
that does look like it works a treat!
Fantastic, good job.
Great how-to! I've nominated you for a Liebster award - see more here - http://www.aprilscountrylife.blogspot.com/2012/10/ive-been-nominated.html
You learn good. And tied your own horsehair lines, that's good too.
Nice job. I'd like to get a light bosal too.
