depends on if you want your phuman to hang, or be tight around your arm.  take the phuman, wrap it around your arm as many times as necessary, and tuck the phuman under the layers of string around your arm.  Thats very basic way to do it, but everyone seems to have their own personalized way.  We twist the string every time we complete one wrap.  Do anything to keep them on your arm.  I wouldn't suggest pinning them because it can run the kurta.  Its all a matter of trial and error.  If you still need help, pm me

LOL That needs to be the new LBC gimmick. You guys should start off in the circle in the beginning except with your phumans tied to each other. And then rip through them. BAM. Little string wont stop grown men.

What I like to do is initially tie them tight and just above your bicep so that its almost up in your arm pit. Tie it as you would tie your shoe and double knot it...Don't tie it so tight that it cuts your blood stream, but tight enough that its not going anywhere. When you let your arm go, flex your bicep, if its so tight that you are unable to flex, then its too tight. When you let your arm go normal, the phuman will come slightly lower to where you want it. Adjust the sleeve of your kurta and pull it so there are no wrinkles as your phuman should sit on a smooth surface. You should be good to go after that...
