String 1x KH onto each end of the cord. Tie a knot 4 cm from the metal part. Cut off any excess cord about 3 – 5 mm from the knot.

 

Putting the bracelet on your wrist

Loosen one of the cord loops. The loop can be enlarged and the KH moved up to the metal part. Slide it onto your wrist. Hold the KH next to the metal part with the fingers on the hand with the bracelet. Hold the metal part with the fingers of the other hand. Pull on the cord behind the KH and tighten. This is how to handle both cord loops. When removing the bracelet, slowly release the fingers on the hand without the bracelet and pull the bracelet over your hand.
