Answer:1. Fold a scarf or cloth into a triangle.

2. Put one end of the triangle at the shoulder of the uninjured arm. Let the triangle dangle down the chest.

3. Place the injured arm or bent elbow over the triangle dangling down the chest.

4. Pull the dangling portion of the triangle up to meet the end at the shoulder. The injured arm should be inside the triangle, elbow covered and fingers peeking out.

5. Tie the two ends together at the side of the neck—not at the back (you can damage the spine).

6. An ordinary safety pin will keep the sling in place. Using the safety pin, attach the point of the triangle at the elbow to the sling. (If you don't have a safety pin, twirl the point until the arm is snug, then make a knot.)

7. Make sure the hand is four to five inches higher than the elbow to keep the blood flow circulating and to decrease pain. Adjust the sling, if necessary.
