What is the process of making a kite?

Preparation materials/tools: newspaper, scissors, bamboo stick, tape, string.

1, first of all, familiarize yourself with the construction of the kite to prepare the materials.

2. Choose a lightweight newspaper and draw a square on it. Cut out the square with scissors or a craft knife.

3. With the right angles of the square facing upwards, place bamboo sticks on the vertical diagonal to form the spine of the kite. The long bamboo sticks are for the spine and the short bamboo sticks are for the beam.

4. Place another bamboo stick horizontally for the beam, perpendicular to the spine. Place it on the top half of the sheet, not on the other diagonal. The beam bone should be perpendicular and level to the spine. Secure the intersection of the two bamboo sticks with string and tape. Use all-purpose glue to be more secure.

5. Garlic then connects the four endpoints of the spine and beam bones with string and secures them to the paper, cutting away the paper outside the bamboo sticks. This should form a diamond shape at this point.

6, the basic outline of the kite is done, in the center and corners with tape to strengthen.

7. Poke a small hole around each of the intersections of the beam and spine.

8. Pass a string through each of the four holes and connect them, without tying them too tightly. This forms the kite's lifting line.

9. Attach a strip of cloth to the end of the kite as a tail. The tail enhances the stability of the kite.

10.Attach a long rope to the lifting line to be used as a release line, and the end of the release line is wrapped around the kite shaft.

11.This makes a kite.
