MAKING A KITE

Flying a kite is an interesting activity and making your own kite is easy. Prepare the following materials: butchers cord; scotch tape or glue; one sheet of strong paper; two strong straight wooden stick of bamboo; marker, paint or crayons. After you have prepared the materials, follow the simple direction below:
First, make a cross with the two sticks, with the shorter stick placed horizontally across the longer stick. Then, tie the two sticks together with the string in such a way as to make sure that they are at right angles to each other. Next, cut a notch at each end of the sticks. Make it deep enough for the type of string you are using to fit into. After that, cut a piece of string long enough to stretch all around the kite frame. Then, lay the sail materials flat and place the stick frame face down on top. Cut around it, leaving about 2-3 cm for a margin, fold these edges over and glue it down so that the materials is tight. Make it tail by tying a small ribbon roughly every 10 cm along the length of string. And finally, decorate your kite with marker.
