Paper and silk are commonly used materials for making traditional kites, and their bright colors can better reflect the charm of China kites. But paper is fragile and silk is expensive, and the products of modern science-nylon cloth and plastic film-have become new materials for making kites.

Bamboo is the main material for making kite skeletons. Bamboo with a wall thickness of 3-5 cm can be cut into bamboo pieces, and the toughness of bamboo pieces can be used as the skeleton of kites.
