You need to flip the rubber cushion on the buds inside out then put sugru around the plastic and flip the rubber buds back to normal. Then, you push the buds it to your ears so they take the shape of the inside of your ears. Then you leave them in your ears while you do the next step.

After it has been drying for 24 hours you just cut little bits off at a time until you like it, remember this step is optional.
