Step 5Finishing.
There you go - all done.
The important part of the jig is the actual pen. The lump of wood is just to hold it.
You might want to fix the jig into the end of a longer piece and tuck it under your armpit, or fasten the wood to the wall beside your garden tap, whichever is easiest.
As I type, a coat of waterproof stain is drying on the timber, because it is bound to get soaking wet on a regular basis. You might want to paint yours.
The jig does not have to be made from a pen - you could carve it from a section of dowel, or a piece of copper tubing. It doesn't really matter as long as it is fairly smooth to allow the balloon to come off the jig when knotting.
Let me know if you found this useful, and maybe post a picture of your own version?
