Homemade mini kite tutorial

Homemade mini kite tutorial as follows:

Tools: paper, bamboo strips, scissors, tape.

1, first of all, familiarize yourself with the construction of the kite to prepare materials.

2, choose a lightweight newspaper, draw a square on it.

Cut out the square with scissors or a craft knife.

3.With the right angle of the square up, place bamboo sticks on the vertical diagonal to form the spine of the kite.

Long bamboo skewers make the spine and short bamboo skewers make the beam.

4. Place another bamboo stick horizontally for the beam, perpendicular to the spine. Place it on the top half of the sheet, not on the other diagonal. The beam bone should be perpendicularly level to the spine.

Secure the intersection of the two bamboo sticks with string and tape. Use universal adhesive for a stronger hold.

5. Connect the four endpoints of the spine and beam bones with string again and secure them to the paper, cutting away the paper outside the bamboo sticks. This should form a diamond shape at this point.

6.Once the basic outline of the kite is done, reinforce it with tape at the center and corners.

7. Poke a small hole around each of the intersections of the beam and spine.

8. Pass a string through each of the four holes and connect them, without tying them too tightly. This forms the kite's lifting line.

9. Attach a strip of cloth to the end of the kite as a tail. The tail enhances the stability of the kite.

10.Attach a long rope to the lifting line to be used as a release line, and the end of the release line is wrapped around the kite shaft.

11.This makes a kite.
