How To make a poi

Use this video if you would like to make your own poi at home. For the plaited cords I used stretchy material and cut it into 3 strips and plaited it. I used some newspaper for the inside just like in the video and wadding to put around the outside. Wadding can be purchased from spotlight or the material shop by the metre. Or you could use the middle of an old pillow like me. Then you just wrap the poi in a plastic bag and sellotape. You can even just leave out the wadding. Neeti made her own poi using a plastic bag for the cord - so clever! Poi making link here
