How To Make A Paper Kite Easily?
Making a kite for your children with a little paper is easy!
With a little patience and thoroughness, making it becomes child's play.
It's a small DIY activity to do as a family ...
I will show you how I do to make a kite that flies wonderfully in just 30 minutes.
What you need
- 4 wooden chopsticks (for example skewers for a small kite).
- White or colored kraft paper
- Adhesive tape (scotch type)
- Twine (kitchen, for example)
- Markers, sequins, stickers ...
- Scissors
How to do
1. Tie two chopsticks together side by side using masking tape. Wrap the tape around, holding my chopsticks firmly.
2. Repeat the operation with the other two.
3. Cut them slightly so that they are shorter.
4. Then arrange in the shape of a cross.
5. Tie them again securely in the middle with the help of the tape.
6. Then place the chopsticks on the sheet of paper.
7. Draw a diamond around it to get the shape of the kite. Be careful, the rhombus must be a little wider than the cross.
8. Decorate or illustrate the rhombus with the help of markers, stickers ...
9. Then cut it out with the scissors.
10. Reposition the baguettes on the rhombus and fold the ends over, securing them with the tape.
11. Tie a piece of string to the ends of the horizontal stick (the smaller one), right and left. This piece of string should be slightly larger than the width of the kite.
12. Tie another long piece of string to this string in the center of the kite: this is what will guide it. It must be long enough to allow the kite to fly high!
13. Then cut two long strips of paper that you glue at the bottom of the kite with tape to form the tail.
Results
There you go, your paper kite is ready :-)
Easy no? All that remains is to fly it.
My 6 year old daughter tested this simple toy on the beach this weekend, and despite all the loops it has gone through, the kite can be used again next weekend.
