Here is an excerpt for a sailing  forum  article on head sail reefing :

That’s pretty much it. I have an extra pennant on the jib at the reefing tack. That stays on always. I just snap it in down at the tack shackle. The sheets get moved up to  the reefing leech grommet. I use a button arrangement so it’s quick and easy to change. Then the bunt of the sail gets rolled and tied just like a main sail would, although knot’s are much more important on the jib that they be tied tightly and neatly. Whole thing takes just a few minutes.

This is the best pic I can find of the jib with it’s reefing points. I have since added permanent nettles at each point.
