4. Stretch out the bottom loop from from your pinky, Lift it over the top loop and stretch it over to the back of your pinky. 5. Do the same with your the loops on the other three fingers.

To finish, slide loops off your fingers and double knot the last row.

Slide the woven loops through the opening of the metal swivel clip. Double knot one end to each slot of the plastic holder piece pulling securely to tighten.

If desired make a personalized label for your water bottle using craft foam. Peel and stick your name and decorate with sea life foamies.
