I. Methods
1, preparation materials: First of all, we need to prepare some materials, including paper, bamboo poles, thread, glue and so on. Paper can be light and thin, such as newspapers and cotton paper. Bamboo poles can choose bamboo with moderate diameter, and the length depends on the size of the kite; You can choose a thread with higher strength, such as nylon thread and cotton thread.
2. Making skeleton: Two bamboo poles are placed crosswise and fixed together with rope or thread to form a cross. Then, tie a bamboo pole at each end of the cross to form a rectangular frame. Paper-cutting: according to the size and shape of the kite, cut the paper into corresponding shapes. Generally speaking, paper can be cut into rectangles and squares.
3. Sticker: Put a rectangular piece of paper on the skeleton and stick it on the skeleton with glue. Pay attention to the edge of the paper to ensure the beautiful appearance of the kite. Decorate kites: If you like, you can add some decorations, such as ribbons and lace, to increase the aesthetic feeling. Tie the string: Tie the string to the kite's cross to ensure that the tension of the string is moderate.
