Easy Bracelet Hack: How to Put On a Bracelet with an Elastic Band

Putting on a bracelet by yourself can be tricky when one end keeps slipping away.

A simple elastic band or hair tie can help hold the bracelet in place while you fasten it with your free hand.

Step 1: Put On the Elastic Band

Place an elastic band or hair tie around the wrist where you want to wear the bracelet.

Step 2: Secure One End of the Bracelet

Slip the bracelet loop through the elastic band.

The elastic helps hold that end close to your wrist so it does not keep moving away.

Step 3: Wrap and Fasten

With one end secured, use your free hand to wrap the bracelet around your wrist.

Line up the clasp and fasten it to the loop.

Step 4: Remove the Elastic Band

Once the bracelet is securely fastened, remove the elastic band from your wrist.

Done.
