    affordable and beautiful ring slings?

    The title says it all........... where can I find one that ticks all the boxes? My budget is $40-80 max. Am I dreaming thinking I can find silk for that price? I think so also open to 2nd handers as well.

    Recommend a website, or if you're looking to sell your own you no longer need, pm me.

    There is a facebook Buy, Swap Sell for carriers. I'm not on it anymore but I'm sure someone will have the link.

    Meant to say this morning I have a Sakura Bloom linen sling. I love it. It isn't fancy, but it's cool and comfy and strong.

    Debbie at Hipababy (etsy search) is making me a beautiful double layer linen for less than half the price of a Sakura Bloom, my choice of colours for fabric and rings

    If you can sew at all, they're actually really easy to make. Look for sleeping baby productions for great instructions and tips. She also sells very reasonable linen slings, with your choice of material and accents.
    There's a forum called the baby wearer where you can buy second hand carriers of all kinds. (google will find it for you.)
    Hope that helps!
