How do i use my barlow lens?

Hi all,

Bought a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ a couple of months ago and am loving it. Recently bought the accessory kit, which included eyepieces, filters and a barlow lens (2x).

I've no idea how to use the barlow lens though!
This is what I've done:
Taken off the cap of the barlow lens
Unscrewed the back of barlow lens
Put barlow lens in eyepiece hole of telescope
Put eyepiece in barlow lens

But any star/ planet just looks super blurry, and I can't focus any further.

What am I doing wrong? Probably something very stupid! But can You please help?

Thanks!!
