 the
original ring-wrap
putting on your ring-wrap:
You can thread the tails through the rings in a few different ways: by yourself,
on your back or front; and with a helper or using a high-backed chair.
Putting on the ring-wrap by yourself: you can do this either on your front
or your back; I'm showing it on my back.
| 1. Put the fabric over your shoulders so that the rings are centered at your
lower back (they're a bit high in this picture). |
|
2. Make sure the fabric isn't twisted
along your back. (Here's where doing it on your
front can be helpful!) Cross the fabric in front of you. |
 |
|
 |
| 3. Bring the tails around your sides. |
|
4. Pull the tails through both rings, one end at a time. |
 |
|
 |
| 5. Both tails pulled through the rings: |
|
6. Thread the tails through the *lower* ring (the one closer to your body)
as though you were threading a ring sling. |
 |
|
 |
| 7. Both tails threaded through the bottom ring: |
|
8. A wider shot of both tails threaded, with tails tied around my front: |

Using a chair as a stand-in person (this also works if you have someone to
stand in for you!):
| 1. Put the fabric over the top of the chair with the rings in the back, making
sure the fabric isn't twisted: |
|
2. Cross the fabric on the front of the chair: |
 |
|
 |
| 3. Bring the tails around the sides of the chair to the back, then thread
them through the rings. |
|
4. Both tails through the rings. |
 |
|
 |
| To put the wrap on, lift it carefully off the chair so that your
arms will go in the spaces between the shoulders and the bottom wraps -- like
putting on a very unstructured t-shirt. If you have gotten a helper to stand
in for you, have them take it off like a t-shirt and put it on yourself. It's
mainly a topological problem -- you just need to see where the cross in front
happens, then make sure that cross goes across your chest. |
