How to make the simplest kite by hand?

Method for making traditional rhombic kite

1

Paper, bamboo or wood, nylon rope and thread.

Fold the paper into a diamond, or draw a diamond, and cut off the extra parts to make the paper into a diamond. As you can see, the bottom of this diamond (diamond) is 15cm, and the top is 35cm.

Prepare two pieces of wood, one is 30 cm long and the other is 50 cm long. Fold them into a cross and tie them with a rope. The top of the cross 15 cm high and the bottom 35 cm high. It's best to use bamboo as a cross, because bamboo is lighter and thinner.

Punch two small holes in each corner of the cut paper, so that ten Chinese characters can be fixed on the paper with nylon rope. Some people use glue to fix the cross, but this will increase the weight of the kite and it is not strong. This method is mainly used to reduce its weight. Of course, whether the kite will fall apart in the air will test the quality of this paper.

Only one step away. Prepare two nylon wires. As shown in the figure, tie both ends of a rope to both ends of a short wooden strip, and then tie one end of a slightly longer nylon rope to the center of this nylon rope.

For the sake of beauty, tie some favorite ribbons at the ends and tail of the kite. When you are ready to fly, tie a bundle of light thread at the end of the nylon rope, so that the kite will fly higher and higher. I wish you all success!
