Threading a Ring Sling

Instructions on how to thread a ring sling using 2 rings and a simple piece of fabric. If you have a piece of fabric that is 2+ yards long and a pair of rings, you can make a sling WITHOUT sewing. FYI - the fabric was purchased at Walmart and the rings can be purchased at www.slingrings.com. Check out my blog for more instructions at www.slingyourbaby.blogspot.com.

i prefer to sew the rings on one side. so that it won't slip, in case.

Thanks for the comment - I made these instructions for those of us who prefer to change fabric w/out having to buy new rings each time. I've been doing this for about 2 yrs now and haven't had any problems w/ slipping. Thanks!

I only wish you had mentioned what kind of rings to use. Rings sold in fabric or craft stores are NOT suitable, as they're not designed to bear weight. Either get rings from a shop specializing in baby slings, or from a place that sells horse/sailing equipment. Nothing like having a ring actually snap to make you a fanatic about ring safety, but I've seen so many mothers trying to use craft-rings from some craft store. Please, only use weight-bearing rings.

Not sure if you noticed, but I put where I purchased the rings in the Info section as well as on my blog where this video is embedded. I agree that you should ONLY purchase rings specifically made for ring slings. Thanks!

I enjoyed the ring thanks for posting.. and the infor for the lenght and width of the sling.. and I was going to the fabric store ...but I read the comments and noticed it said to purchase rings where they sell boat items.

Love and Light to you.
