How can i make two pulleys work together?

My science class is doing a lab and our lab is to use less effort to pull the 500 gram weigh using only pulley and string. However, i'm really having a hard time just to make two pulleys work together cause the string always get's loose or caught in something.


The following wiki article shows diagrams for both simple and compound two pulley systems that you can use.
