Cut colored paper

After cutting the colored paper according to the sketch size, two pieces of colored paper need to be glued together. If the kite needs to be printed or painted, you need to complete these steps in advance and paste them in the right place.

Assemble a kite

Spread colored paper on the floor, then stick a wooden stick and iron wire on the colored paper according to the sketch, and tie a rope on it. Next, the structure of the kite should be fixed together with glue or iron wire, so as to ensure that the kite will not collapse due to airflow.

Add tails and decorations

After making the basic structure, we can start to add the kite's tail and trinkets. They can help balance kites and provide better control performance. You can also use various decorations, such as tassels, ribbons, ribbons, etc., to enhance the aesthetic feeling of kites.

Test kite

When all the steps are completed, you can test whether your kite can fly freely in the air. If there is any problem, you can go back to step 4 and make adjustments until the kite can take off stably.

In a word, making kites is an interesting activity, which requires patience and creativity, but watching kites soar in the sky after completion must be an indescribable pleasure.

A kite is a flying toy, made of paper or cloth, usually in the shape of a bird. In order to make the kite fly in the air, it is necessary to connect a long line, and people can control the flying direction of the kite by pulling the line. As an ancient traditional toy, kite has a unique culture and history in different countries and regions.

China is one of the birthplaces of kites. As early as 2000 years ago during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to make kites. At that time, kites were used as military reconnaissance tools and props for folk sacrificial activities, and later gradually evolved into children's games and competitive activities.

The kites in China are exquisite in shape, material and decoration, among which the kites in the Yangtze River valley are especially famous. In addition, China kite culture has the meaning of "Let People Qi Fei", and it is also a symbol of unity, friendship and peace.

Besides China, other countries and regions also have their own kites. For example, the marathon kite in India, the Phoenix kite in Thailand, the Tokyo Dragon kite in Japan, the butterfly kite in Malaysia and so on. These kites have different styles, showing the cultural characteristics and artistic styles of their respective countries and regions.

Kite is not only an entertainment toy, but also can be used for competitions and performances. In the traditional kite fighting in China, people will use kites to pull each other's kite strings and try to make each other's kites fall to the ground.

Modern kite sports also include kite cross-country, kite hanging, kite gliding and kite surfing. In addition, kite performance has become a popular art form, and performers display beautiful visual effects by throwing fireworks and changing the shape of kites.

In a word, kite is not only a toy, but also a kind of culture and art, bearing people's yearning for freedom, peace and a better life.
