Abstract
The balloon closure device of the present invention includes an integrally formed flat seal portion and removable tab portion (made of biodegradable material) and a loop of string or other type of line. The loop of string may be wrapped neatly around the tab portion, which eases handling of the device before it is used to seal a balloon. Once the device is used to seal a balloon, the loop of string may be used to secure the sealed balloon to the user's wrist without requiring the user to tie a knot.
