Baby slings

A stylish accessory for mom, a toy for kids. Anything that doesn’t fall into a baby’s little hand. And you need to pull mommy’s earrings, and the chain with the pendant, or you can try to take off your glasses. When you hold a child in your arms, he is interested in everything and needs to touch everything. Even when the baby is suckling, his hands continue to “explore” his mother, tugging at her hair and clothes. So why not make an interesting toy for the child that the mother can wear as decoration? Sling beads are a very original accessory and a completely safe toy. Look how the beads look in the photo.



For those who know how to use a crochet hook, making baby sling beads is not at all difficult. Wooden beads are simply tied with cotton thread. A little imagination and you can knit various flowers or just balls. For tying, you need polished wooden beads, not coated with varnish or paint.
Let's look at how to do this. We knit a ring of five loops, then make the first circle of single crochet loops.



Thus we knit further, adding the number of loops.





The bead can be tied with multi-colored threads, or knitted from two halves.





Knitting flowers from beads is also not difficult. We take a bead, half of which is green, half yellow.We knit white petals - and we get a daisy; we knit lilac petals of a slightly different shape - and we got an original cornflower. It all depends only on your imagination. If you tie the petals in two rows, you will get beautiful bells.





To make the bells more beautiful, we will knit a pink stripe in the middle. And then we knit petals along the edges of the pink one.
For variety, you can knit a double-sided flower.





We tie the thread for stringing the beads with a simple chain of three threads of the same color as the beads. We will make tassels at the ends of the thread so that the beads do not come off. To do this, we roll the threads into several layers about ten centimeters long and tie them in the middle.



Now you need to tie the threads well, first bending them in one direction, then in the opposite direction. All that remains is to trim off the irregularities, and the beautiful brushes are ready.






Babywearing beads will not only save mother’s breasts from being pinched by little fingers, but will also be beneficial for the development of the child. The baby can take these beads into his mouth and thus massage the gums during teething; they are completely natural and harmless. I just advise mothers to wash them more often with regular laundry soap and rinse them well. Beads should not be soaked or washed in hot water to prevent the wood from getting wet. Sling beads help the baby to better develop his motor skills, learn different shades of colors and coordinate movement. Look at the photo for several options for beads made from beads and flowers.
