If an inflated balloon is attached to a funnel, it will rapidly deflate and you will not be able to fill it with the liquid. I suggest the liquid be poured into a bottle, then attach the inflated balloon to the bottle. Turn it all upside down to permit the liquid to enter the balloon. Remove the balloon from the bottle, let out excess air, and tie it off.
