FREE 4 Make A Kite Guide - hobby for many people in many countries

Kite making has been a hobby for many people in many countries for many years. Apart from flying a kite building it is a perfect means of exploring your own innovativeness for arts and crafts. For children who are searching for new leisurely activities to occupy their time in the holidays kite flying is perfect. Pre-cinstructed kites of late has become more popular and are even more so cheap. While many persons decide to purchase pre-arranged kites, construction process that is used for making a brand new kite on your own is so much more fulfilling. You can also make your kite in a wide range of designs and sizes, and with a few items and these instructions you can continue to make your own kite with these guidelines.

Items needed:

Bamboo sticks

Fishing line

Strings

Plastic bags

Razor

Scissors

Ruler

The Instructions are as follows:

1. Use the knife to sever the bamboo into individual sticks. Cut the longest which will function as the backbone of the kite so it can be placed vertically while the smallest piece will be placed horizontal. Then use the string and connect the two pieces together at the midpoint where it forms the frame of the kite but make sure that the lengths that divide the cross section bamboo stick is equivalent and use the ruler to calculate the measurements.

2. Use the knife to make a miniature indent at the last part of each bamboo piece, deep enough so that a set of strings can be put in them. Then cut a piece of string and place it through each incision of the bamboo sticks at each end so that it encircles the kite. Now pull the string around the kite so that it makes a loop at the top of the kite so it can be wrapped a couple times to stabilize the structure.

3. Slice the plastic bag into pieces using the scissor, and make sure it is huge enough to go over each triangle(s) as well as its borders. Then take the glue and attach each section firmly to the borders to ensure that it goes over the string frame.

4. Take another set of strings and tie them at each end where they will be tied together at the midpoint. This is the same area that the fishing line will be connected to fly the kite.

5. Then join another piece of string at the end of the kite to create the tail of the kite.

Tips and Warning

* Whenever you are pasting the plastic bag over kite, you can also utilize spray glue to fasten them at the centre to re-enforce the structure.

*Whenever you fly the kite, try to stay away from locations with power lines that will hinder you from flying it. Many kites end up being trapped in the wires and cannot be retrieve.

* You can use the same fundamental concepts of kite construction with minor adjustments to create your own kite frames or even shapes such as squares and octagons.

* If you want to construct the kite with more strength, create the frame with a bend.
