I finally got around to getting a braiding tutorial made. 
The turorial has a ton of pics & is really detailed, maybe overly.  Sorry if it takes forever to load on some of your computers.  I chose the option in my photo program that is suppose to be for web pages but most of the pics were still kind big for so many on one post.     I will use the custom option next time.

Ive been around looking some but havent posted in awhile.  Things have been really busy around here.  Will try to get up here more. 

Hope you all like it.

hey that's really awesome.  i will have to try that out soon

Hey, Rebecca.  Nice work!  I like how you used yellow and black cord.  I'm in the middle of an article on how to make a 16-strand sqare braid with a woven pouch.  I used yellow and black as well, hoping it'd show up better.  I used the same cordage, too -- #18 seine twine from the local Hobby Lobby.

Hello Becky!

I also make my slings about the same way you do!
Except for a few things:
1. I use one color...hehe...gonna switch to a few (maybe camoflage)

2. I make my loop like any loop and its not braided together...allthough it looks nicer that way.

3. I also use 6 strings to make the Sling Stronger and since i only know how to braid a 3 string braid i melt the ends together to form 3 thicker strings.

4. When I reach about the middle of my string i dont cut it but instead i punch some holes around the pouch and "weave" the 3 strings through. 2 for the edges and 1 down the middle.... (hmmm i really need to get some pics...)
Then when the weaving through the pouch is done i finish of the braiding and tie a knot at the end...


Basically A nice Apache style Sling!!!!!

Very nice Sling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
