How to make a handmade kite?

The method of making small kites by hand is as follows:

The first step in the process of making a simple kite is to go to the store to purchase the main materials, such as two ordinary newspapers (one for standby), a pair of scissors, a Buddhist monk's knife (auxiliary), a roll of transparent tape, a roll of fishing line and slender bamboo strips, or go to the suburbs to cut slender bamboo strips, which are generally the same size as curtain bamboo strips.

The second step, when all the materials are ready, the next step is for the newspaper to cut the appropriate kite size according to its actual needs. Personally, I think it is most appropriate to make a square with a length of 600mm* a width of 600mm or a width of 800mm*, because the size is similar to that of ordinary newspapers.

Step 3: Cut two slender bamboo strips with a length of about 1 m into the shape of a bow with fishing lines. One is used as the bow skeleton and the other is used to be perpendicular to the bow frame, which is actually the same principle as the finished bow and arrow.

Then the two ends of the bow and the two opposite corners of the square are fixed with transparent tape (or 5-8 newspaper pieces with a length of 5cm* a width of 5cm are directly cut and the two ends, the front end and the tail end of the kite are fixed with paste), thus completing the newspaper kite dragon skeleton made of slender bamboo strips.

The next step is to finish the kite's tail. Because the kite must keep balance during gliding, according to the size of the kite's main body, cut a newspaper strip with a length of 600mm, a width of 50mm to a length of 800mm and a width of 50mm at the diagonal of the bow on both sides as wings, and cut a newspaper strip with a length of 1 m and a width of about 5cm at the tail. In the production process, it should be noted that the wings on both sides must be symmetrical with the two tails in order to do this.

Step 4: Bind and fix the fishing line at the joint between the front end of the vertical arrow and the bow (that is, kite line, it is recommended to tie a fast knot) to avoid dropping the line after flying high into the air. Such a complete kite can be made.

The last step is to transport the kite to an open and safe place and wait for the right wind to fly it.
