A close person should tie the amulet: parents, a loved one. However, it can be tied by yourself, although it is not easy, but in the process it is necessary to light a candle, and not a church one, tie the thread on seven knots, and burn both ends of the thread with fire. At the same time, if the red thread is equipped with amulets, locks and beads - it's just a fashion accessory, and there is no healing or magical power in it.
