In The Bible (in a couple of places, including Deuteronomy chapters 6 and 11) G-d tells Moses that Jews should place tefillin on their arms and heads.
It is a traditional Jewish teaching that, like all other "how to's" from the Bible, G-d explained exactly what they were and how to make them to Moses on Mount Sinai when he was up there for 40 days (twice), just as He explained how to slaughter an animal properly (at one point, he says "slaughter the animal the way I taught you," while nowhere in the Bible does it say how), etc.
