The customary method involves placing the bones to either side of the middle finger such that approximately 2/3 of their length extends along the palm while the remainder protrudes above the fingers on the backside of the hand.
The hand is held in a loose fist with the bones and the curled fingers roughly parallel to the palm.
Usually, the bone closest to the ring finger is gently held against the palm by the tip of the ring finger placed on its edge, while the other bone is left free to move in the "hinge" formed by the index and middle fingers as they gently hold it.
