A balloon knot tying device that has a base with dual rods provided for stretching the leading end of an inflated balloon around to assist in tying a permanent knot. Each rod having at least two diameters to provide a retaining edge so the balloon will not slide down onto the base during the knot tying operation. The base with dual rods can be attached to different holding devices such as a ring shaped device for inserting at least 1 finger or a handle shaped device for gripping. The knot tying operation consisting of holding the balloon against the side of the device and stretching the leading end around the rods to form a loop. The leading end is then crossed under the loop through a relief area and up between the two rods. The leading end is then pulled off of the rods to form a permanent knot.
