How to Take Off EDC Wristband Without Cutting
To take off your EDC wristband without cutting it there are 3 methods:
1. Straw Method to Take Off EDC Wristband:
- Cut off a small piece of plastic straw of about 2.5-3.8 cm from the end of the straw. This is all you will need to take off your wristband without cutting it.
- Cut vertically through your small straw piece, cutting all the way from the top to the bottom.
- From the back end of the wristband, wring to create a tight spiral.
- Continue to twist until the ribbon is very thin.
- You should open the straw part and place the straw flaps on either side of the tail of the wristband.
- Put the wristband fastener onto the straw.
- Finally, slide the straw off the wristband along with the clasp. Do this by grabbing the clasp with your fingers and sliding it to the back of the wristband.
2. Plastic Bag Method to Remove EDC Wristband:
- Take a plastic bag and thread the handle of the bag through the open part of the wristband. Let the bag fit your hand with the wristband sitting on the plastic.
- Slide your hand further into the pouch, pulling on the excess plastic.
- Squeeze your fist to the edge of the plastic pouch to make sure the entire pouch is threaded through the wristband.
- Pull the handle or other plastic part to make the bag snug around your fist.
- Fold the bag over the wristband and pull it out of your hand. Invert the handle and bottom piece of plastic protruding from the bottom of the wristband forming a cone of plastic over it and your fist.
- Then pull the inverted piece of plastic down. The momentum loosens the wristband and removes it from your wrist.
3. Twisting Method To Take off Electric Daisy Carnival Wristband
- Twist the back end of the wristband into a very tight coil.
- Try to make the spool as thin and tight as possible because the thinner the twist, the easier it is to set the clasp. The clasp on the wristband has small “teeth” that hold the plastic to the fabric. By making the fabric smaller and thinner, you essentially “unlock” the clasp and allow it to move around easily.
- Grab the clasp with your fingers while holding the band in a fist.
- With your free hand, place the back end of the wrapped band against your palm.
- Secure it with your little finger and ring finger and then grab the wristband clasp with your free finger.
- Slide the clasp along the spool until the wristband is completely released. Pull the clasp with a firm, quick motion.
- If you twist the wristband tightly enough, the plastic clasp will quickly slip out of place.
