New Girasol Woven Wrap Instruction Manual
Recently, I created a new instruction manual that is sent to all US customers who order any wraps from Girasol and if you’ve ordered a Girasol wrap in the past several months you should have received one:

Making this Instruction Manual was a family affair:
This was a really fun project. My husband is a professional photographer so I got to work with my favorite person. Here’s us and that’s a camera strap across his shoulder 🙂
And here’s one of our old family pictures. We traveled the country in a veggie-oil powered RV in 2011 and 2012 with 2 under 2 and a big sister, too, so a lot of wrapping happened:
Because my husband also wrapped our babies and helps me run Wrap Your Baby but doesn’t necessarily remember how to wrap or know all the details of the carries that I teach, he was a perfect foil to help me analyze how the instructions (and accompanying pictures) would communicate to a brand new wrapper.
Making the most effective wrapping instructions in the world:
Together we worked the instructions up and down, striving to make the most detailed and easy to follow wrap instructions known to mom.
Then we had some non-wrapping friends and family try to follow our instructions and any time they ran into trouble or weren’t sure what they were supposed to do, we re-worked the instructions to make it more clear until they could follow the instructions to achieve all 3 carries in the manual.
So these instructions have more steps, take up more pages, and have more notes, but I hope that means more success for brand new wrapping parents and caregivers so more babies get to enjoy all the benefits of being wrapped against a caring adult.
After all that, I’m dying to know: how do you think we did?
Spreading these woven wrap instructions on social media:
I’m also using some of the pictures for some very simplified versions of the tutorials on social media like this Instagram post sharing the hip carry from the instruction manual:
