You insert the sticks you are using into the holes you just poked and then you slide the rubber bands on either side then slide the rubber bands all the way tell they touch the water bottle

First you get a pice of string( I used one of the inside strands of 550 cord) then u screw one end of the string into the cap and then tie a slip not in the other then you take a paper clip and bend it like I did

You take the paper clip and use the plier end of the multi tule to put the paper clip into the hole you poked at the back end of the water bottle then take the string and the slip not that you tied and slide it over the paper clip and it is set and that's the end please vote for me
