If you're short on carabiners, here's a way to make an anchor on two rings or short chains with just a double length 120 cm sling and one carabiner for the master point.
1) Check the rings to see there are no metal bits that might damage your sling.
2) Girth hitch the sling to one of the rings, keeping the sewed bar tacking out of the way.
3) Pass the sling through the other ring, and pull it down.
4) Clip all the strands with a locking carabiner and tie an overhand knot. Done.
If the team above you who is descending wants to rappel past you, that's easy to do even with an anchor like this. Simply clip one of your locking carabiners onto your master point, and have the descending team use this carabiner for their rappel.
