Step 3Tie a stopper knot in your piece of string.
A fairly stiff piece of string works best, but any piece will do in a pinch. if it's floppy you will require more patience in the next step.
The best stopper knot generally is the figure 8 knot. Look at this sequence of images to learn to tie it. You can use this knot everywhere. It is easier to untie later than an ordinary overhand stopper knot... Re-use your string.
