I think you can find patterns at http://www.sleepingbaby.net for different carriers, and for sure at http://www.mamatoto.org

I found mine on http://www.mayawrap.com/n_sewsling.php
It took about 20 min to make.

Where did you get your rings ? Do they sell in the B&M store ?
Or is it just online thing ?

Slingrings.com has a large selection of rings. They've tested their rings to make sure they're strong enough for slings, unlike craft rings which can break at the weld.

After checking out these links, I think I'll head out to my local tack shop (where they sell saddles & such, if you're unfamiliar with the word.) The rings there are under a dollar, and designed to endure the full force of a horse, so I'm sure they'll do - although no fancy colours.

That's a really good idea!

I used rings for every sling I made for all my friends from the horse tack section and they do work great.
Then I made a sling for a friend who wanted nylon rings.
It is SO much lighter! The aluminum rings are way lighter too.
I think in the future I'll spend the extra buck for lightweight rings.
HTH.
Slingrings.com has the best selection. They are priced in pairs.
