You can use a stainless steel ring or a wooden ring.
Cut strips of fleece or cotton.
I have cut a fleece blanket into strips.
Then knot the strips to the ring and the RingSwing is readyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Easy isn't it

Guessing this must be Toon.

LOVE the pic of him yawning on his new swing. He certainly seems pretty comfortable:D

You won't believe it.....but it's Harry. He has a very good grip in
it. But he can't go in or out the swing by himself. He loves the RingSwing.

Oh my, I want to make one! Might have to wait till I get a day off, but I definitely want to make one. I think the chicken will love it! Maybe I'll make one for Tiki too, although it may end up going to chicken since I don't know how comfortable he would be on something that moves. I'll definitely give him a chance to try it, though.

Do you know where in Canada I can get cotton fleece? My local stores only sell polyester fleece a.k.a. polar fleece.

I've never been able to find a swing that the Rbird liked... and over the years I've blown some cash, I tell ya. He doesn't seem at ease keeping his balance, and canNOT land in one, so I have to hold him up, and he would usually refuse to step onto it. These are so cool that I might make one just to get a pretty picture... like a wine-and-gold one. GO CAVS!!!!!!!!!!!

That I do not know ... ... I live in Netherlands.
Maybe you have cotton t-shirts that you no longer wear
Because those can also be used.

I would look for some really cheap blankets! Baby section?
Had a quick peek, only polyester and flame retardant. Unfortunately can't use them. Will keep looking.
