How to make homemade kites
Flying a kite is very fun. At the beginning you will have difficulties for that flight. Try changing the length of the tail, or tying the rope that goes to the flange in different place, until it stays in the air easily. It is convenient to use gloves. Look at the following article on how to make a kite.
You will need to:- 4 plastic squares 30 cm x 7.5 mm wide
- Scotch tape
- A wood stick of 1.30 meters long and 7.5 x 7.5 mm wide.
- 8 pins of adequate size
- A ball of thin string or nylon
- Fabric of 15 cm x 52 cm
- A clip
one
To begin, make two holes through two of the squares with knitting needles. As the image indicates.
two
Extend the squares. You have to make holes in the lower squares below the holes in the upper squares. Draw around the top edges to keep the squares in line.
3
Then join the squares with pins by inserting them through the holes and opening the tips at the bottom of the squares.
4
Then turn the squares around. Stick the stick with tape all over the central part as seen. Attach and tape a clip to the bottom end of the club.
5
Make two small cuts at the top and bottom of the squares. Measure a rope from the upper cuts to one side of the kite and down to the lower cut. Tie it
6
Next measure a rope that is five times the width of the kite and cut it. This is for the tail.
7
Then cut the fabric into about 13 strips 4 cm wide. Tie the strips of the fabric to the string tail as seen in the picture.
8
Tie the tail to the clip at the end of the stick as seen in the image below.

Finally, tie the rope to the kite . Tie the end of the rope of the ball to about 1/3 of the upper end of the flange. Tie it with a knot.
