How do you make a tree "weep" ?

We have a young Katy apple tree which we would like to change from an upward growing one to a weeping one.
Someone has suggested hanging weights on the branches. Is this the best idea?

Have you cut the main stem to the height you want the tree to grow? My hubby did and it encouraged side shoots to grow. Every year he then cuts all upward shoots and cross shoots. It's a beautiful shape now, looks like a weeping cherry tree. Will take a photo of it tomoz.
