Choose a rubber band that’s not too wide, as wide rubber bands are more difficult to stretch. Also, pick a slightly longer rubber band than normal. There’s not a set width and length, but if you’re having trouble stretching it around your fingers, it probably won’t work.

You should now have a triangle shape stretched between your index finger, thumb, and pinkie. The rubber band should twist around each finger to make a teardrop-shaped loop, and the triangle should be on the inside edges of your fingers, not the outside.

You should now have a square in the middle. Keep holding on to the loop you pulled out with your right index finger.

Your right index finger and right middle finger will be holding on to 2 points of the star.

You will need a long rubber band that’s not too wide. You should easily be able to stretch it between 2 hands. However, it should be small enough to maintain tension over 3 fingers on one hand.

Pull your right fingers out of the loops.

The loop should currently be over your right index finger and middle finger.
