Simple steps to make a kite

The simple steps to make a kite are as follows:

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

Steps:

1, put two pieces of wood in a cross and fix them with hemp rope. Be sure to tie them tightly, 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.

2. Draw your favorite pattern on the prepared paper. Kites have many patterns, such as Nantong butterfly, dragon head centipede and swallow-shaped kite ... then stick paper on the cross and cut off the excess parts.

3. Use a 35-50 cm nylon rope, and tie both ends of the rope to both ends of the short wooden strip, 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.

Skills and precautions for flying kites:

First, the skills of flying kites:

1 First of all, you should know the speed of the wind. You can look at the flags or ribbons nearby, and the floating direction is the correct direction. Secondly, while running against the wind, we should also pay attention to the flight of kites. When the wind is strong, you can pay off the line, and when the wind is weak, you can close the line until the kite can hold on in the sky.

2. Thirdly, if the kite model is relatively large, you can fly it with your friends, one for the control line and the other for takeoff. When flying several kites at a time, you can consider the connection mode of kites and lifting lines. Finally, if a kite is entangled with other kites, you can approach the owner of another kite, exchange adjustments with each other and loosen the thread.

Second, matters needing attention:

1. Location: Do not fly kites near electric wires, trees or railways. Open space is conducive to kite take-off and flight.

2. Height: Don't let the kite fly too high, it is difficult to control, and it may break.

3. Weather: Choose sunny weather to avoid thunderstorms.

4, model: children need to choose a small kite to fly a kite, to avoid the wind dragging children.
