Today is the first day of using a single ring to finish our carry! A general safety tip to remember is to make sure you have 6-12 inches of wrap past the ring finish. For this single ring you will pull a loop of the wrap through the single ring and then thread the other tail of your wrap through the loop you made!

Challenge DAY ONE #1

LET THE RING FINISH CHALLENGE BEGIN!

 May the wrappee be calm and patient! See link above for full details.

Welcome to DAY ONE! We are very excited to get the ring challenge under way! We are starting with the first carry which is a No-Sew Ring Sling!

 Follow our YouTube Channel Here : 30 Day Ring Challenge!

Videos added daily!

We would love to see photos of your No-Sew Ring Sling in the Facebook Group! 

#30daysofrings #bwigateway

Here is a little photo tutorial on threading a no-sew ring sling!

Start with your wrap and a set of Aluminum Sling Rings. These are size large.

Gather the wrap up, trying to keep it evenly gathered. If you can avoid bunching and folding in this step, the next part will come out much smoother! Put the end through both rings, this will become the part of the sling resting on your shoulder.

 

Fold the wrap back over the top ring and then under the bottom ring. You should pull 6-12 inches of the wrap through at this point to create a safe no-sew ring sling.

Make sure the fabric is spread evenly between the rings and there is a sufficient length on the other side of the rings.

  

Find the other end of your wrap which will now become your ring sling tail.

Insert this end of the wrap through both rings. Check that the length of wrap has not become twisted.

Thread this end as we did the shoulder, over the first ring and under the second.

Once again, make sure the fabric is spread evenly through the rings. 

Now use as a ring sling! 

Come back tomorrow for DAY TWO, Front Wrap Cross Carry!

Happy New Year 2015!

Happy New Year Friends!

On the last day of 2014 we did a New Years coloring page, watched the kids countdown on Netflix, lied to my kids and said happy new year at 7:45pm, and put them to bed! They got to stay up a whole 30 mins late!

Here is a link to the kids coloring page: Kids Year in Review From Skip to My Lou

Here is the one I made for me! You can Download and print your own copy here to color in here!

My Wearing Year in Review

After my kids were in bed I decided to start working on my own goals and plans for the new year. This is a year of setting personal challenges for myself and among those I decided I would include a babywearing challenge!
