Here are the first steps if you are starting with a plain reflective band and velcro.

1. Measure the circumference of your arm, keeping in mind the thickness of your work-out clothing. [Mine is 31cm]
2. Measure the width of the velcro. [2.5cm]
3. Measure the reflective band to equal the circumference of your arm plus 3Xthe width of the velcro. [38.5]
4. Fold the reflective band to make it twice the length and cut. [77cm]
5. Figure out how wide the band needs to be to wrap around three sides of your MP3 player, with 1/8-1/4in (1/2cm) overlapping both sides. It should also be long enough to wrap 3/4 around the length of your MP3 player.
