How to make a paper kite

How to make a kite What are the basic steps to make a kite?

Steps to make a kite: 1. Prepare newspapers, bamboo shreds, knives, tapes and thin threads. 2. Cut bamboo and cut it into the skeleton of the kite according to the needs of the kite.

3. Stick thin thread or paper and stick bamboo sticks into the kite skeleton. 4. According to the outline of the skeleton and the kite, stick the skeleton on the newspaper and cut out the kite.

Kites were invented by working people in ancient China during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which has been more than 2,000 years since. According to legend, Mo Zhai made wooden birds out of wood, which took three years to develop, and was the earliest origin of human kites.

Later, Lu Ban used bamboo to improve kite materials in Mo Zhai. It was not until Cai Lun improved papermaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty that people began to make kites out of paper, which was called "paper kites".

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to be a tool for transmitting information. Since Sui and Tang Dynasties, due to the development of paper industry, people began to use paper to paste kites. Flying kites became a popular outdoor activity in the Song Dynasty. Zhou Mi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in Old Wulin: "During the Qingming Festival, people fly kites in the suburbs and return at dusk."

"Kite" means kite. There are vivid kite-flying scenes in Zhang Zeduan's The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty and Su Hanchen's The Hundred Poems in the Song Dynasty.

How to make the simplest kite

1. The diagram of tadpole kite 1 is the skeleton diagram and tie-down diagram of tadpole kite. In order to facilitate your production, a scale grid is specially added. This kind of kite is very simple to make, and the requirements for materials are not very high. As long as you make it according to the map, you can achieve the purpose of flying. This kind of kite uses only two kinds of bamboo skeletons, horizontal and vertical. The size of the kite is generally about 450 mm wide, but it should not be too big or too small. Take 450 mm wide as an example. The width and height of horizontal bamboo strips are 3 mm and 3 mm respectively. In order to reduce the dead weight, the width and height can be symmetrically cut into 2 mm at the edge tip. Because this kind of kite belongs to semi-hard beat kite in structure, the wind force required for flying is generally around level 3, so for beginners, there is no need to worry too much about the width of bamboo strips. If the structure is heavy, the wind required for flight is slightly larger. \x0d The width of vertical bamboo strips is 3. The length is 620 mm. Tie bamboo strips horizontally and vertically. The shielding material can be leather paper, rice paper, non-woven fabric, plastic film, silk, nylon yarn, etc. If paper is used, thin lines should be applied at the edges to prevent tearing. Stick the masking material and bamboo strips together and stick them at the tail with a width of 40 mm. The tail with the length of 1500-3000 mm is made of the same or different materials as the masked ones (special reminder: it is forbidden to use conductive materials such as metal films to make the masking surface and tail). Tie the lifting wire according to the proportion shown in the figure. For beginners, they are always worried about not tying the rope properly at first because they have no experience. In fact, as long as they pay attention to observation and study, they will soon master it. In order to make adjustments during the flight, at first, you can leave the length of the flight route longer. For kites such as bats, due to the particularity of their flight structure, if they are tied with flying lines of inappropriate length, they will only affect the flight angle. This time will help you learn and master the adjustment of the lifting line. Because the balance of this kind of kite mainly depends on the long tail, the requirements for the skeleton are not very high in the process of kite making. This is a kite suitable for beginners. When flying, pull the back of the horizontal bar with thin thread to make the kite become an arc surface, which is easy to disperse the wind under the action of wind and make the kite fly stably. \x0d The mask painting of tadpole kite is relatively simple, and I believe you have always seen frog tadpoles. If you want to save trouble, you can dye the whole kite black with ink, and the effect of flying to the sky is also very interesting. In order to highlight the flying effect of tadpole kite swing, after flying a kite,

How to make a kite?

Article 1 of "tie". The skeleton of China kites is mainly made of various bamboos, supplemented by reeds and sorghum stalks.

Use modern wood, glass fiber, carbon fiber composite or light metal. Bamboo is characterized by light weight and straight and dense fibers (skins), so it has certain strength, toughness and elasticity, and can be split into strips of various specifications for easy processing.

It can bend when heated, and it is not easy to deform after setting. The disadvantage is that it is not as hard as wood.

1. Selection of bamboo species: When selecting materials, besides species, there is another problem, that is, how to choose the use time and location of a certain species. 2. Selection of bamboo: (1) Looking at an adult bamboo pole vertically, it can be roughly divided into root, middle and tip.

The root node must be irregular and cannot be used. The tip is obviously tapered and many branches are not available.

Only sections with little change in the length and thickness of the middle section can be selected. (2) Cross-cut a bamboo and observe its end face. The outermost layer is bamboo skin, the part with dense fiber tissue in the skin is bamboo green, and the part with loose internal tissue is bamboo yellow. Generally, only bamboo green and bamboo skin are used to make kites, and bamboo yellow should be cut off.

But how much to cut depends on the specific situation (Figure 6- 1). (3) Newly-picked bamboo contains a lot of water, which is easy to bend and deform. It must be naturally dried in the shade for a period of time before it can be used.

After several years of standing, bamboo with little moisture is brittle and hard, and it is not easy to bend, so it is rarely used. Of course, young bamboos that have not grown into adults and old bamboos that have naturally cracked underground for many years cannot be used.

Second, chopping bamboo Because the texture of bamboo is straight, it can be processed by "chopping". 1. What is "chopping"? Different from "chopping": "chopping" refers to tearing bamboo along its natural texture, rather than cutting it with a blade (see Figure 6-2).

2. Three steps of splitting bamboo (see Figure 6-3): (1) incision; (2) chopping people; (3) open it. 3. Chopping tools: Although ordinary knives can chop small baskets, you must have special tools to chop big bamboo.

4. Preparation of bamboo: Generally speaking, the collected round bamboo should be preliminarily processed and made into bamboo boards for later use. The steps are as follows: (1) Remove bamboo roots and bamboo shoots.

(2) Cut into bamboo sections of about1~1.5m. (3) Split the round bamboo section into eight bamboo boards with the same width.

(4) Bundle bamboo boards every 10, and dry them neatly for later use. 3. Bamboo cutting is the finishing after chopping, that is, using a blade to cut bamboo into bamboo strips with different widths, thicknesses and slopes needed by our Tri to make various kite parts.

It has become a common method to plane bamboo board with woodworking plane. 4. An important feature of bending bamboo is that it becomes soft and easy to bend at a certain temperature, and can be shaped after cooling in the bending state.

Using this characteristic of bamboo, we can make all kinds of complicated parts. The exquisiteness of China kites is also related to the use of this kind of bamboo that can be bent at will.

1. Heat source: Various heat sources can be used to process bamboo, and candles and kerosene lamps are used in traditional China kite making. Uniformly heating bamboo strips to a certain temperature on a heat source.

It is necessary to constantly turn the bamboo strips and move them back and forth to gradually heat up all parts. After preheating to a certain temperature, bamboo strips become soft and can be bent.

But the bend should be moderate, slow and steady, and it is best to succeed once. When bending on the soldering iron, it can be carried out in sections, and finally it is bent into a larger arc and a smaller arc.

Bamboo skin is easy to bend outward, but difficult to bend inward. The bent bamboo strips can be cooled and shaped in cold water.

5. Connect all the bamboo parts together to form the overall skeleton of the kite. There are many ways to connect kites, among which binding is the most commonly used in traditional Chinese kite making, so "binding" is the first of the "four arts".

In fact, in addition to "ties", there are buttons, movable heads, plugs and so on. Paste art 1. Material selection Traditional China kites are mainly covered with paper and silk, while modern kites also use new materials such as man-made fiber textiles or non-woven fabrics and plastic films.

The paper for pasting kites requires long fiber, toughness, thinness and lightness, low air permeability, good coloring and small deformation caused by temperature change. Traditional big kites mostly use composite materials to cover their faces, that is, cotton paper or leather paper to support wires.

This material has high strength, good air tightness and good coloring, and has incomparable properties with paper and silk. Nylon yarn, nylon yarn, non-woven fabric and plastic film are all good materials.

They are airtight and not afraid of water. The first three are far more powerful than paper and silk. There are many kinds of plastic films, some of which are extremely thin, and the weight is only110.

But it also brings new problems, such as coloring and gluing. This aspect will be discussed later in "Paste" and "Painting".

Second, cutting refers to blanking with a mask, just like cutting clothes. 1. Shape taking: It is easy to take the shape of the upper plane part of the kite, just spread the mask material on the kite diagram and draw the shape.

But there are many curved surfaces on kites, such as the wings of Shayan, which are complex surfaces. When taking shape, you must first put a piece of paper on the skeleton of Shayan's wings, cut it along the edge, and then draw it on the mask material according to the pattern. 2. Margin: It must be slightly larger than the edge of the pattern when blanking, and slightly larger than the used edge when pasting the mask.

3. Texture: Both paper and textiles have their own texture directions. Be sure to consider the texture when cutting, ensure that the left and right textures of the kite are symmetrical, and try to avoid using inclined textures. 4. Material saving: On the premise of not affecting the above three requirements, how to save materials is a problem that should be paid attention to when cutting.

Third, how to paste the mask on the kite skeleton is the key to the art of pasting 1. Glue coating: Before pasting paper, glue is often coated on the skeleton.

What kind of glue is used and how to apply it to the skeleton? Is the problem to be solved in this section. When pasting paper and silk, the best glue at present is latex (polyvinyl acetate emulsion), and the concentration of glue depends on the paste material. In principle, the thinner the paste material, the thinner the glue can be.

If the adhesive material has high strength and requires high bonding strength, the glue will be thicker. It is best to gently apply the glue to the skeleton with a brush, and the glue should be uniform.

Be careful not to leave a lot of glue at the corners of some skeletons, which will make the mask uneven. 2. Shielding: Shielding the glued skeleton should be accurately placed on the skeleton and move as little as possible.

Otherwise the glue will be wiped off. The mask should be placed flat on the skeleton, and the tightness of each part should be opposite. It must not be tight in some places and loose in some places, which will cause kites.

How to make kites!

The common kite is made of bamboo as the skeleton and paper as the meat.

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

Make various kite skeletons according to your hobbies, such as dragonflies and butterflies. Paper is the main material of covered kites. It is best to have fine and uniform fibers, toughness, moisture resistance and impact resistance, and white and clean colors.

Paste the paper on the skeleton, then tie the string, and the kite is finished. Method of making paper kites: Tie two thin bamboo sticks (40-50 cm long, with a cross as the skeleton) and four short ones (with a rectangular frame, which is relatively stable and balanced) (ensure the adhesion with thin iron wire or super glue) and paste the paper. The paper should be tough, not thin or brittle, and firm along the border, so as to ensure that the paper is complete and flat in the process. Tail sticking: use two pieces of light paper, about 5-8cm wide and 3m- 10m long (longer if necessary), and stick them on the left and right ends of the same side of the main body (if the main body is rectangular, stick them on the shorter side) to ensure that the two tails are equal in length after sticking, and the four ends of the line are fixed at the four corners of the main body and pulled in one place (to make the line form a quadrangular pyramid).

But it can't affect the kite flying in the air, because too many accessories will make the kite fly unbalanced. The shape of kites mainly imitates natural creatures, such as birds, insects, animals and geometric shapes. And the patterns are mainly designed according to personal preferences, such as promoting beautiful people, animals, butterflies, birds and so on. Kites are made of plastic besides silk and paper. The bone stems include bamboo sticks, wood and glue sticks. Recently someone designed a boneless kite. Today, the kite forms an air pillow, floats gently, and then rides in the wind. In China, Malaya, the Philippines and Japan, there is also a large kite, which is put into the blue sky at every kite festival. These kites vary in size from ten feet to twenty feet. Bone stems are made of bamboo and released by more than 100 people. 1. Tadpole kite diagram 1 is the skeleton diagram and tie-down diagram of tadpole kite.

In order to facilitate the production of netizens, a scale grid is specially added. This kind of kite is very simple to make, and the requirements for materials are not very high. As long as you make it according to the map, you can achieve the purpose of flying.

There are only two bamboo skeletons used in kites. The size of kites is generally about 450 mm wide, but it should not be too big or too small. Taking the width of 450 mm as an example, the width and height of transverse bamboo strips are 3 mm and 3 mm respectively. If the dead weight is reduced, the width and height can be symmetrically cut to 2 mm at the edge tip.

Because this kind of kite belongs to semi-hard kite in structure, the wind force required for flight is generally around level 3, so for beginners, there is no need to worry too much about the generosity of bamboo strips. If the structure is heavy, the wind required for flight is slightly larger.

The width and thickness of the vertical bamboo strips are 3.5 mm and the length is 620 mm, and the horizontal bamboo strips and the vertical bamboo strips are cross-tied together. The shielding material can be leather paper, rice paper, non-woven fabric, plastic film, silk, nylon yarn, etc. If paper is used, wrap the edges with thin threads to prevent tearing.

Stick the mask material and bamboo strips together, and stick a tail with a width of 40mm and a length of 1500-3000mm with the same or different materials as the mask material (special reminder: it is forbidden to use conductive materials such as metal film to make the mask and tail). Tie the lifting wire according to the proportion shown in the figure. For beginners, because they have no experience at first, they are always worried that the messenger wire will not be tied well. In fact, as long as they pay attention to observation and study, they will soon master it.

In order to facilitate the adjustment during flight, the length of the flying line can be left longer at first. For a kite with a racket, due to the particularity of its flight structure, if it is tied with a flying line of inappropriate length, it will only affect the flight angle.

This will help you learn and master the adjustment of lifting thread. Because the balance of this kind of kite mainly depends on the long tail, the requirements for the skeleton in the process of kite making are not very high, and it is a kite suitable for beginners to make.

When flying, pull the back of the horizontal bar with thin thread to make the kite become an arc surface, which is easy to disperse the wind under the action of wind and make the kite fly stably. The mask painting of tadpole kite is relatively simple. I believe you have always seen frog tadpoles. If you want to save trouble, you can dye the whole kite black, and the effect of flying into the sky is also very interesting.

In order to highlight the flying effect of the tadpole kite swing, after the kite is released, it is only necessary to increase or decrease the length of the tail. If the kite in flight is particularly stable, the tail length can be gradually reduced to increase the swing of the kite, but this is at the expense of the stability of the kite.

Figure 22. The word "Wang" is named after its skeleton is similar to the word "Wang", which is what Beijingers call "fart curtain". The shadow of this kite can be seen everywhere. It is a kind of "popular kite" that many friends who like flying kites but have no professional production experience will make and fly, as shown in Figure 2.

Like the tadpole kite, the size of this kite should not be too big, the width should be about 550 mm, and a total of ***4 bamboo strips make up the skeleton. The size of the bamboo chips in the skeleton is basically the same as that of the tadpoles above, and the accuracy of the bamboo chips is not very strict. The flight stability of kites is also balanced by the long tail.

Take a kite with a width of 550 mm as an example. The length and width of the three transverse bamboo strips can be the same (short or slightly smaller), and the length, width and thickness are all 3.5-4 mm The materials of the mask and the two tails are the same as above. Like a tadpole kite, it is tied with two threads.

Kite painting can draw all kinds of cartoons, figure paintings and so on. On the mask. A very creative painting is to draw a child's head on a mask and its long tail as its long logo. You can give full play to your imagination.

Fig.33 Bagua Kite Bagua Kite is a traditional kite in China, and its shadow can be seen everywhere. Generally speaking, Bagua kites are suitable for larger kites.

How to make kites!

Kite making tools: paste, paper cutter

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

Features of the square kite: (1) This kind of square kite is the most commonly used and the most common one now. (2) The skeleton of a kite is very simple, with only two pieces. (3) Although the method is simple, the appearance changes a lot, and a lot of things can be made with a little effort.

Practice: 1. First soak the bamboo stick in water to soften it, then break it with a knife, about one-third the thickness, and then trim half the shape, because later, you have to stick the bamboo stick on the horse drawing paper. If it is too thick, the bamboo stick will tear the paper, and at the same time. Cut the repaired bamboo stick into two pieces with appropriate length, about 16 inch and 23 inch. Next, cut the horse drawing paper into a square, about 24 inches long. Horse drawing paper is a kind of rough paper, which is most suitable for making kites.

2. At this time, you can stick the bamboo stick on the paper, but remember to stick the long bamboo stick on one third of the short side 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 tail of the kite under the kite, and after the angle between the line and the kite is better, you can take off. 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 coils such as cowhide thread, cotton thread and glass thread, and the coils can be divided into circular coils and diagonal coils.

The above answers are for reference only. Make sure that the method of making kites can be seen everywhere, because the method of making kites is easy to find, and it is not too difficult to find the method of making kites now. Regarding the specific method of making kites, I suggest you go here to see how to make kites. The method of making kites here is comprehensive because the method of making kites in other places may not be as comprehensive as here. Make sure you can find the way to make kites everywhere, because the way to make kites is easy to find, and it is not too difficult to find them now. Regarding the specific method of making kites, I suggest you go here to see how to make kites.

Selection of bamboo species:

(1) Phyllostachys pubescens

Main producing areas: Qinling Mountains, Hanshui River basin to the vast area south of Yangtze River basin.

Main characteristics: it is the most widely distributed bamboo species in China, with large output and the highest economic value. The thick end is straight, the pole is more than 20 meters high, the diameter is more than 16 cm, the bamboo wall thickness is 0.5 ~10.5 cm, and the internode length is 40 cm. The material is hard, firm and tough, and has good splitting performance. It is a good material for making all kinds of kites. In China, it is also an important material for making kites.

(2) Phyllostachys pubescens (Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys praecox).

Main producing areas: provinces in the Yangtze River basin, Hebei, Henan, Sichuan and other places.

Main features: the pole is as high as 15 m, the diameter can reach 14~ 16 cm, and the middle node is 40 cm long. Bamboo is thick, hard and aggressive, so it is a good material for making kites.

An article about flying kites (less than 200 words) first describes how to make kites, and then writes about flying kites.

Ordinary kites usually use bamboo as the skeleton and paper as the meat. It's clear in Wan Li and Wan Li today. I flew kites with some friends, and everyone threw kites into the air. Some kites flew into the sky, but they seemed to fall. Several other kites didn't fly into the sky, so friends had to throw them into the sky again. This time, everyone's kites flew into the blue sky. Kites seem to have fallen into the white clouds, but they can't fly any more. Friends pull hard, and the kite is pulled and flying in the air, just like a beautiful butterfly! The more friends play, the more energetic they are, and the more fun they play! Kites assume various shapes in the sky. Until the evening, our friends were still unwilling to leave. Everyone's heart has been intoxicated with the wonderful time of flying kites.
