Improvising Bobbins!

I have been scratching around in my STUFF and came across these yarn holders which may make suitable bobbins for use on me Chinese braiding stand.

Next a trip to the fishing shop near the beach to buy weights and the inevitable question "What are you doing?". When I try to explain to the man behind the counter he suddenly becomes enlightened "Oh you must be one of the knitting and sewing brigade!" Mystery solved!!

Just a few minor adjustments -punch a hole here, add a cord there and voila! Ready for action!
