Measure the string from your hip to the ground and add 4 inches. Tie a loop o. each side of the string. Make a slip knot on one of the side by making a loop without tying it and putting it through the loop that you did tie. Put that in your Yo-Yo and pull so it is tight around the screw in the middle.

Add Weight

Super glue a washer around the end of each screw on the outside of the
Yo-Yo. This adds weight to make it go better and it makes it look cool.

(Optional) Saw Dust and Super Glue

Put a pool of super glue in each washer and then sprinkle saw dust on it so you don't see the screws. That's it! Enjoy your new Yo-Yo.
