How to make a kite?

How to make a kite: First of all, we need to prepare materials such as nylon thread, bamboo, newspaper or leather paper, paste, and a knife.

Besides that:

1. Use a knife to cut the bamboo into flat shapes, and make four strips {take two pieces of 80CM, one piece of 90CM, and one piece of 30CM as an example.

2. Use nylon thread to tie four bamboos into a triangle to form an umbrella model.

3. Place the kite model on the newspaper, and then use a knife to draw out a triangle. Note that the drawn model is about 5 mm longer than the kite frame to facilitate the post-processing.

4. Fold the extra paper back to hug the bamboo and stick it with glue.

5. Use a string to tie a knot on the cross-shaped bamboo in the middle, and tie it into a string that is short at the top and long at the bottom to form a wire loop with a diameter of two centimeters, and then tie the loose string.

6. Fold the newspaper into 5CM strips and cut them with a knife.

7. Stick the paper strip with glue and then stick it on the tail of the kite.

Make your own kites using sorghum stalk skin, bamboo skin core rice paper, paste, etc. A square of white paper is surrounded by bamboo cores and connected with three long tails that are blown hundreds of meters into the air by the wind. Once you get started, you can improve your skills in making sand swallows. First, make a bamboo frame and then paste rice paper. Then the key to painting a beautiful picture is to tie up the threads to make them smooth.

There are also goldfish, triangles, dragons, golden monkeys, and all kinds of kites. There is also the International Kite Festival every year, where hundreds of flowers bloom. The Chinese have used bamboo to make palace lanterns and kites since ancient times. They have the custom of making beautiful oil-paper umbrellas, exquisite bird cages, grasshopper cages, and fans with bamboo cores. Handicrafts are carried forward.

National handicrafts will not be lost, so that they can have successors and pass on the national culture. The irreplaceable cultural spirit allows our culture to be passed down and carried forward.
