Will be trying to make cracker for it out of some plastic fibres string I found in my grandma's gardening tools

I think I've seen this video already when I was trying to find some visual information on how they make balearic slings.(my slings then were just those simple split braids you can find tons of tutorials on and of course simple paracord ones) Ended up using some tutorial I found here on the forum

I also liked this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO4ERyUXdYU

I finished this one recently, and it's already gone. I had a couple friends over last night for a beer. One of them really liked this sling so I gave it to him. Although I made him throw a few ice balls with it as part of the deal.

I bought a bunch of blue leather on Etsy. This was the first sling I made with it and I think it came out fantastic.
