How to Make Homemade Practice Poi

Step 7Finishing Touches

Finishing Touches
Your almost done!
Give them a few test swings, dose it flow well? If it's too light or too heavy go back to step 4 and try again.

If it dose:
Find the right length for you (usually about as long as your arm from the wrist to the armpit) and tie off a handle.
Finish off the handle by wrapping some electrical tape or duct tape around the cord if you want. Add ribbons, puffy paint and just have fun decorating your practice poi!

Some other things you might want to try:

Instead of shoe laces try kite cording (nylon cord) or fancy ribbons found in craft stores (the fabric kind).

Try a tennis ball slipped into a long (knee length) sock and tie it off so it doesn't slip around.

Make a "tail" out of fabric and sew it onto the fabric square or sock and watch it chase the poi around and around!
