Does anyone know how to make a swallow kite?

Kite practice:

Preparation tools: paste, paper cutter

Kite making materials: bamboo strips, yarn strips, horse drawing paper.

1) This kind of square kite is the most widely used and common one at present.

2) The skeleton of a kite is very simple, with only two pieces.

3) Although the method is simple, there are many changes in appearance, and you can make a lot with a little effort.

Exercise:

1. First soak the bamboo stick in water to soften it, then break it with a knife, about one third thick, and then trim it into a half shape, because later, the bamboo stick will stick to the horse drawing paper, and if it is too thick, it will tear the paper, and the bamboo stick will be too thick.

2. At this time, you can stick the bamboo stick on the paper, but remember to stick the long bamboo stick on the short third with gauze paper, and then bend it slowly until the two ends of the long bamboo stick touch the diagonal of the paper.

3. In the last step, stick the kite's tail under the kite, and after the angle between the line and the kite is better, you can hang it.

The kite's tail is the main tool to keep the kite balanced. When the kite flies against the wind, if one side is heavy, the kite will tilt to this side, preferably with a long tail, because the longer the tail, the greater the weight of the kite's head will rise, which will make the whole body suffer from the wind and balance the tilted side.

5. The silk thread of the kite can be tied to the kite with thread rollers such as cowhide thread, cotton thread and glass thread. The thread rollers can be divided into round thread rollers and diagonal thread rollers.
