Making Maori poi’s

Making Traditional poi’s

Firstly we watched a video on how to make maori poi’s.

After that we gathered our materials(Fluff,String,String,Siccors,plastic sheet and tape

Next we got a black string and measured it up to our shoulder 6 times.Then we grabbed our blue string and wrapped it around o4 of our fingers 30 times .After that we cut the blue string in half and put it through 1 side of the black string.Next we placed a heavy object on the pompom and started plaiting.

After plaiting we grabbed a chunk of wool and tied the black string around the wool. 

Finally we wrapped a plastic sheet around the chunk of wool and made a poi.

Thanks for learning how to make a poi with me.
