Take one end of the strap loop and place over the tree limb or other structure, both strap loops should be the same distance facing downward. You then take one strap loop and place it inside the other loop. This appears as a double strap loop, like one is made inside the other. Take your metal clasp and hook it onto both strap loops. Insert your rope through the clasp and secure it with the supplied clamp. Click on image to enlarge
