Sew the edges

The cloths measure 60 x 60 cm. However, this is a little too large. Divide them into four equal parts using fabric scissors.

Insert the foil

Cut out the foil a little more generously. This will give you a little more room to maneuver when sewing. Pin the foil in place with pins. This will prevent it from slipping.

Sewing the individual parts together

Now sew the two halves together using the machine. In just a few steps, the blank is now ready to be lovingly decorated.

Make the bead cords

Making bell cords

A sling that can crackle and has little bells will make your baby's eyes light up. You can therefore string a few bells on it. You can leave these strings a little shorter.
