Take the first band and move the part that is on the index finger to the middle. Repeat the process until you use all of your rubber bands, or the bracelet is long enough to wrap around your wrist.

Step 5: Attaching the Hook

Move the bottom band to the middle once you use all the rubber bands. Then, move both parts of the last band left onto one of the fingers. Place the hook on and connect this part to the other side. Voila! You are done.
