to make the sling, first cut two lengths of string two inches longer than a pencil. then make a tiny loop out of a paperclip. tie this to one end of a string. tie the other legth of string through the hole at the other end of the arm.

to make the actual sling, take two pieces of electrical tape about three inches long each and stick them together. cut a tiny hole in each end of the sling. then, tie one legth of string through each hole as shone.
