attach the chop sticks as legs. slide them under the rubber band and adjust so it is high enough for a cup to fit under it ( pix no. 3)

as the rain is collected by the funnel it drips into the cup where it passes through the layer of purification tablets i then slowly goes through the cloth witch keeps out twigs and bugs then it drips into the cup placed under the dripping water.
