Using one is quite obviously the easy way of doing this, however just look at the model JSONs in the minecraft jar. It's relatively simple.

If you go into your .minecraft directory. Go into the versions folder. Open your versions jar. navigate to assets.minecraft.models within the jar file. I recommend winrar to open the jar file if you don't have one already.

Okay, I've seen how it's done, but there's no way I can understand and do my

The models are just JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files. If you don’t understand JSON just google it. It’s a (semi-) efficient way to save objects to (and load objects from) files.

What do you mean by this? You can’t open the files? You can locate the files? You can locate your Minecraft folder? If you need help finding the files look at https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/1480874-where-are-minecraft-files-stored-,it would also be helpful to know what operating system you are on as the way to find them depends on your operating system?

 

I recommend using BlockBench to create the models and then tweak them as needed in the json files (changing texture locations i.e. resource domains). BlockBench can run in, and works well in, your browser - though it works best if you download it.
