   While you do this, rotate your non-dominant hand counter-clockwise until the palm faces upwards.
   
   The neck of the balloon should now form a loop around the first two fingers of your non-dominant hand. , With your dominant hand, push the neck of the balloon gently through the center of the loop you just created. , Withdraw the first 2 fingers of your non-dominant hand from the loop when the neck is passed all the way through.
