A string winder consists of a rectangular socket attached to a handle on a swivel. Once you attach the string properly, the socket goes over the nut that winds the string being tightened. Once the socket is over the nut, the user merely rotates the handle in the direction needed to tighten the string - the winder merely acts as a method for accelerating the nut winding process, since you can turn the nut faster with the winder than you can with your fingers.
Winders are only meant to take up the majority of the string slack - once it gets fairly tight, it should be taken off and the rest of the string tuning done by hand. Use your fingers to tighten the nut to concert scale tuning, and make sure you tighten the nut screw. It's always a good idea once you've tuned all the strings once to go back around again and check them once more, as tightening strings always tends to loosen others already tuned by a little bit. At a certain point they'll all be tightened to the same relative tension and you won't have to deal with any loosening as you tighten all of them.

How do you change a string on an electric guitar?
That would depend on the guitar hardware setup. For some guitars, the head of the string is locked in the body, the string brought over the bridge and wound through the aligning winder over the nut. Others require threading through a tremolo mechanism such as the Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most guitars have the string head thread from the bridge, along the neck, over the aligning nut and through the winder hub.

How do you make a kite string winder?
To make a kite string winder, you can use a simple cardboard tube, like from a toilet paper roll, and wrap the string around it. You can decorate the tube with stickers or paint for added fun. Another option is to repurpose an old plastic CD case by winding the string around the center hub.
