Around.
Usually I would put my geckos in a warm containor with paper towel then gently help the stuck shed off of their toes, but the hatchling has it on his/her toes.. and it does NOT like people .. so me helping it would be out of the question.

How would you guys do this?

did the same thing with about 10 babys last year worked great. just dont let it go or it will get nasty quick and if they are wild ones watch the tail, had my first one come off last year and was not to cool. didnt die or anything just freaked me out tail wiggling in my hand and all
