The materials used to make kites are usually

The materials used to make kites are generally as follows:

Kites are made of plastic besides silk and paper, and the bone poles are bamboo poles, wood and glue sticks. Kite making tools include paste and paper cutter. It should be noted that kite paper requires long fibers, toughness, thinness and lightness, low air permeability and good coloring.

How to make a kite:

1. First soak the bamboo stick in water to make it soft, then break the bamboo stick with a knife, about one third of the thickness, and then trim half the shape. Because the back of the bamboo stick will be stuck on the horse drawing paper, too thick will tear the paper, and at the same time, the gauze paper with too thick bamboo stick will not stick stably. Cut the repaired bamboo stick into two pieces with appropriate length, about (16 inch and 23 inch). Then cut the horse drawing paper into a square, about 24 inches long.

2. 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 both ends of the long bamboo stick touch the diagonal of the paper.

3. Stick the kite's tail under the kite, calibrate the angle between the line and the kite, and you can go up and down.

The kite's tail is the main tool to keep the kite balanced. When a kite rides along the wind, if one side is heavy, the kite will lean to this side, so it is necessary to make its tail longer, because the longer it is, the weight will raise the kite's head, so that the kite will be exposed to the wind and balance the tilted side.

The silk thread of kite can be cowhide thread, cotton thread, glass thread, etc. Coils can be divided into round coils and flat coils. Be careful to tie the line obliquely to the kite.
