| To make this puzzle, drill a small hole through a new pencil just under the metal band at the top. Thread a piece of string through the hole and tie a knot in it to create a loop that is shorter than the pencil. | |
| You can attach the pencil to
any shirt with buttonholes large enough for the pencil to fit through freely.
Place the loop around the buttonhole as shown in the illustration.
|
Pull the fabric surrounding
the buttonhole up through the loop. in effect this extends the length of
the loop so it is longer then the pencil.
|
| Place the tip of the pencil
through the buttonhole.
|
|
| Pull the pencil through and the loop will form an knot around the buttonhole. | |
 |
 |
| To remove the pencil from the button hole, simply flower the above steps in reverse. | |
