you can wrap poi almost every way you can wrap strings. It just gives a different effect. Sock poi are the best for it.

I've been doing poi moves with glowsticks for a couple of weeks. i;ve just been using the ones from poundland (tube of 30 with connectors) they last about 4 hours with a good glow, maybe longer.

All I've done is cellotpe two groups of three connectors together. One set foe the to, and one for the bottom like this.

The ones connected to laces though have the string and two pennies inbetween the connectors like this.
