Make sure you don't blow up the balloon any bigger than the length of your skewer or the trick really won't work. Coat your skewer with the detergent to make it smoother and seal the holes you're going to make in the balloon. Choose the tied end of the balloon where the rubber is thickest to poke through first and then match it up on the inside with the top middle point. The rubber is thickest here as well. Your balloon might lose a little air but if it works, you'll be serving up shish-ke-balloons to your party guests!
