Apple/Tulip twist

With this twist you can make (surprise surprise) Apples and Tulips. Pig noses, barrels of guns. It's also a great way to hide a knot.

Balloons needed: Any balloon basically, even hearts and rounds.
  1. 1 Push the knot inside the balloon.

  3. 3 Extract your finger.

    Note: Instead of your finger you can also use a balloon straw. This allows you to push the knot in really really deep without having trouble getting your finger out.

  4. 4 Twist a bubble just before the knot.
