So I just got my first gymnastic rings today and I was super excited because I’m a complete beginner and really wanted to start training with them. But because of my excitement (and honestly me being forgetful), I made a really dumb mistake 😭 The straps were very long, and instead of adjusting them properly, I thought they were just unnecessarily long so I CUT them in the middle with scissors to shorten them… Right after cutting them, that’s when I realized the extra length was actually intentional 💀 Now I’m stuck with shortened straps and I seriously regret it. Is there ANY safe way to fix this? Can they be sewn back together, tied somehow, or repaired with hardware? Or are they basically unusable now?

Please help :((
