Steps to make a kite

The making steps of kites are as follows:

Method 1:

1. Preparation material: a flexible and light paper, generally 50-70cm long and 30-45cm wide. You can also use cotton, rice paper, leather paper, two pieces of wood, one is 30-45cm, the other is 50-70cm long, a roll of hemp rope and a roll of nylon rope.

2. Put two pieces of wood in a cross shape and fix them with hemp rope. Be sure to fasten it, or the kite will fall apart when flying. The top of the cross is about 15 to 20 cm high and the lower part is about 35 cm high.

3. Draw your favorite pattern on the prepared paper. There are many patterns of kites, such as Nantong butterfly, dragon head centipede and swallow-shaped kite. Then stick the paper on the cross and cut off the extra parts.

4. Use a 35-50 cm nylon rope, with both ends of the rope tied to both ends of the short wooden strip respectively, then tie one end of a roll of nylon rope to the center of this nylon rope, cut the rope into a proper length, and finally tie some light and thick ropes to the tail of the kite.

Method 2:

2. Cover the kite.

3. Make three tails for the kite, stick or not, depending on the actual situation when flying.

4, in addition to the triangle, it can also be made into a diamond, the method is similar, but the shape is slightly changed.

5. It's best to use a strong string for kite tying and flight test, and it can be taken back when flying high. The position of the stay wire may affect the kite take-off, so pay attention to the adjustment.

6. The key is to pay attention to balance, that is, the tail and the body should be coordinated.
