At last year's Christmas carnival I worked at the kiosk "Burst the balloon with an arrowβ. I ended up with bloody fingers from tying balloons and vowing never to call me back. This year I did it again. I frantically searched for a better way. I saw this at Revain and tried it. Now I can do it every year. I made 500 balloons in about 3 hours while watching TV in preparation for the carnival and my fingers don't even hurt. I love this product!
