This is a video demo of a 35×84 scarf with a wing seam added. Works great as a wing but is still light enough to dance with and wear 🙂

A Tip on Using Voi Pair
If you haven’t watched the single voi video, start there! The video below shares a simple move that can be used a number of different ways to get a nice effect when using a pair of voi.
Please understand I have not been using voi long and am particularly new at using a pair 🙂 I’ve discovered my body does not like doing syncopated rhythms (which gives me problems in piano too!), but you can still make voi pretty without them as hopefully this video demonstrates!

Basics of Using Voi
Below is a video of a few basics of working with voi (veiled poi). Here I’m using a single voi (in the standard 35×84 size).
Please understand, I am NOT a voi expert! I’ve been using these only for a few months – so this can get you started, but for more advanced moves you’ll have to go elsewhere or ask Holy Spirit (the teacher of all things) to show you! 🙂 Continue reading Basics of Using Voi

How-to put a flag on the pole
After poking many holes in the tops of my banner flags, I came up with a method that has worked very well in protecting the silk and helps the flag be more usable. I’ve done a series of images to show how-to do it, it’s not hard at all but it’s just easier to show you than it is to describe in email (as I’ve done for several of you before). 🙂 Continue reading How-to put a flag on the pole
How-to Make a Streamer Rod
Below is a how-to for creating a simple streamer rod. If you prefer (or if you have trouble with the wooden ones breaking), you can buy fiberglass ones online (or on Amazon -it’s eligible for supersaver shipping).
We offer streamers in both the 3yd and 4yd size, but you can also special order another size if you need something specific. Please note, if you order a streamer from us, it will come with the ring already in the pocket seam at the top of the silk.
