The best kite designs. How to assemble a kite from what is available

(http://nepoceda.com/kak-sobrat-vozdushnogo-zmeya)

Basic elements of a snake

Frame - depending on the model, it may consist of two or more rails. The mutual arrangement of which depends on the specific model. Serves for structural rigidity during flight.

Cloths - light fabric, cellophane or paper, which is covered with a snake frame. Due to this, there is an obstacle for the wind that creates lift. The canvas is placed in relation to the wind in front of the frame.

Tail - usually made in the form of one or more ribbons, and even with bows. Serves not only as a decoration, but also to smooth out imperfections during the flight. The tail is not found in all models.

Bridle - for attaching a thread (leera) to a kite. They are of several types, depending on the number of attachment points:

with one - does not require adjustment, the tail does all the work

with two or more - there is usually a regulating part (ring) here to adjust the angle of attack by the wind.

with a keel - a single piece connected to the canvas of the same material, instead of a bridle with two fasteners. Does not require adjustment, usually a tail is hung for this purpose

Leer (thread, rope) - with its help they control the flight. It should be light and strong, preferably with the ability to unhook from the snake. For this purpose, they put carbines for the tail, by the way, too.

Coil - for winding thread (handle). Facilitates use and less risk of tangling the rope.

Consider the possible options:

1. If you have a rail (twig) and a bridle, a reel, a tail in the kit.

Take the frame of the snake, insert the bridle from the front side into the holes on the snake. (for an example, see the picture above) - Turn the kite over and thread the rail into the holes (loops) at the ends of the bridle. - Next, find the special slots for the slats on the kite. They (grooves for the rail) should be located along the edges either top-bottom or left-right. I draw your attention to the fact that the rail should be on the reverse side of the snake, i. behind the canvas during the flight. - We turn the kite over to ourselves with the front side of the kite and tie the thread to the bridle. - If there is also a tail, find a hole at the bottom of the snake and fix the tail.

2. If there is no rail, but there is a bridle, a spool of thread, a tail is not a mandatory attribute. - Then just look for holes on the snake and fix it (bridle). - Next, attach the thread to the bridle. The fastener of the thread to the bridle should be on the front side. - We fasten the tail, if it comes separately. It may not exist at all.

3. Perhaps in the kit there will be only one spool of thread without a bridle but with a rail and a tail. Your model with a keel is a one-piece piece connected to the main web of the snake. - The keel should have a hole for tying a thread, or some other device - a carabiner, etc. For clarity, consider an example. in our case, it is necessary to thread the thread into the hole on the keel. We fix the thread by tying a knot. - On the reverse side, turning the kite over, insert the rail. As described above, the rail is inserted into the special. recesses along the edges of the snake (bottom-top, right-left, or, if two slats, both). - Such models are also equipped with a tail, which also comes separately, attach it, there should be holes for attaching the tail from below. in our case, it is a metal hook with a loop.

4. For models with two rails or more, the assembly principle is similar. Depending on the number of additional rails included. They are inserted into recesses on the snake. Location may vary. How to be perpendicular to each other, intersect, be parallel.

Since we asked ourselves how to fly a kite, so you have it. It's time to talk about where to start the launch. And how all the same to overcome the lull or sudden gusts of wind and learn to control the elements. We will analyze all these points in detail in this article.

To begin with, I’ll say a few words about the benefits. The kite is one of the most ancient toys invented by mankind. Flying a kite is an amazing child's play that brings people of all ages together. It will allow you to get acquainted with such a natural phenomenon as wind. By launching a kite, the child learns to control and maneuver depending on the direction of the wind. On your own experience, to see at what speed and height the wind blows, but you feel the strength of the wind and make you think why the kite flies? Thus, fueling interest in acquiring new knowledge. Flying a kite is an insanely bewitching sight not only for a child, it will also allow you to escape from the hustle and bustle of our days.

If you have not had to deal with a kite before. Before heading out to launch, gather your kite. Because difficulties can arise on the spot. Usually a kite is sold unassembled and with instructions, study there should be a description of how to assemble. If not, this happens, then you will find step-by-step instructions in the article.

In general, all kites consist of a standard set of elements, despite the huge variety and choice.

Carefully study the assembly instructions for your toy. After collecting, check the strength of the tied threads and the connected parts. Go conquer the elements!

Choosing a place to fly a kite

You need to fly a kite in large open areas. If possible, it is better to launch on a hill or hill in order to use the updrafts of the wind.

Incorrectly selected platform can make it much more difficult to fly a kite. It happens that the kite is difficult to launch, it acquires stability only at a certain height. Or vice versa becomes unmanageable. This occurs due to the unevenness of the ground, the presence of trees, houses and other obstacles in the path of the wind. Due to this, on the ground and about 50 meters from the ground, one can observe the unevenness of the wind, which leads either to lulls or sudden gusts.

IMPORTANT:

Never run kites near power lines, wires, etc.

Never run near highways or airports.

Never fly a kite during a thunderstorm.

All this is life-threatening!

Before you start flying a kite, you need to evaluate the wind - strength, direction, character.

First of all, we determine the direction of the wind in order to take the correct position.

The kite is positioned facing the wind and towards you. At the same time, you can stand with your back to the wind, or if the wind strength is not sufficient, you will have to run towards the wind.

1. Enough strong wind.

- run alone.

A kite can easily be launched directly from the hands. Stand with your back to the wind. By pointing the kite nose up, initially holding on to the rail at the very kite. Slightly pulling the thread towards you, lift the kite up, gradually unwinding the rope.

- double launch

Your assistant holds the kite upright with the nose up. You unwind the rope 20 meters and step back. Having given the command to the assistant to release the kite, while slightly tossing it up. Watch as your kite takes off rapidly while keeping an eye on the tension of the thread - more on that below.

2. There is not enough wind near the ground to lift the kite. But by the tops of the trees you can judge its presence. In this case, you can raise to the required height in the following ways:

- if you run a kite alone.

Standing with your back to the wind, we put the kite on the ground perpendicular to the direction of the wind, i.e. facing towards us. Gradually unwinding the rope, we retreat, holding the kite in this position.

When you move ten meters away, pulling sharply, run a little until the kite gains the required height, feeling how the kite has caught the wind and rushes up, where it can soar with ease. Provided that at the top there is a strong enough wind for maneuvers. Otherwise, you will have to run and keep the kite in the air.

- start together.

The only difference is that the kite is in the hands of the helper. This option is more suitable for starting with a child. You will play the role of an assistant. Your task is to raise the kite as high as possible while holding it perpendicular to the direction of the wind, strictly nose up. After unwinding a couple of meters of the rope, ask the baby to scatter. You will have to let go in time, slightly tossing up. (For babies from 2 years old).

Older children need to be explained how to proceed, after your kite has caught the wind, you will feel resistance, you can stop and start adjusting the flight. For achievement maximum height, if at the height where he soars without any of your efforts, just unwind the rope to the desired distance.

How to fly a kite:

You need to control the kite depending on the strength of the wind .

- The wind has died down- the kite began to fall - pull the rope over yourself by lowering your hand down or taking a couple of steps back. Make sure that the thread is always taut.

- The wind got stronger- we unwind the rope or loosen the tension by raising our hand or taking a couple of steps towards the kite.

Your task is to periodically tighten during the moments of the fall and weaken the tension of the thread during a rapid upward jerk.

- If the flight of the kite is not stable then it soars, then it falls rapidly down, you should understand the dynamics of the movement. The kite flies where the nose of the kite is pointing.. Therefore, pulling the thread can both lift the kite and accelerate the fall. Follow the direction of the nose. At the moment of a rapid fall, slightly release the rope, allow the snake to straighten up under the influence of the wind. As soon as the nose turns up, pull the rope under the pressure of the wind, it will quickly gain height.

Another tip, if a fall is inevitable and you are unable to correct the situation, then loosen the ropes, thereby not provoking an increase in impact.

Troubleshooting:

Situations may arise when the kite wriggles like crazy or does not want to fly at all or rises with great difficulty.

Let's start with the following situations:

gusty or weak wind;

in the first case, the kite can take off sharply in the same minute, break down or wag from side to side, while tearing the thread out of the hands. Because gusty winds can change direction, speed and strength at any second. Such weather conditions, it is worth postponing the launch until the wind normalizes.

secondly, when there is no wind, the launch will be made only at the expense of speed - having stopped, the kite will rush down. If the wind is at a height, then it will definitely pick up the kite. And if you feel resistance, you will be able to manage it, as described above. See How to fly a kite and How to fly a kite.

Incorrectly selected launch site;

If under normal conditions, you still can't handle a kite. Then the reason is:

1. Bridle with thread incorrectly adjusted. For models with two or more places for attaching the bridle to the kite.

By adjusting the place where the thread is attached to the bridle, you thereby regulate the angle of attack. Depending on the surface area exposed to the wind, you can affect the speed of lifting and it will stop winding.

To do this, tie the ring closer to the snake's nose or further (if the bridle attachment points are located vertically, i.e. above and below). Empirically achieving stability, it is not necessary to fly the kite every time to check whether it has become more stable after bandaging or not. Just hold it on an outstretched hand by some point on the bridle and as soon as you determine at which point it winds less, knit a ring here

Or if the attachment points are across (right-left), then you need to make sure that the thread is attached strictly in the middle, otherwise your kite will fall on the side where the bridle is shorter and the flight will not work.

2. Tail

Your kite is from the store, and was completed with a tail, then you can try to either remove it (if it does not take off) or attach it (if it wriggles in flight).

Your kite is homemade, again depending on the behavior of the kite, the following options are possible:

1. The kite squirms abnormally from side to side - then your tail is either too light or not long enough.

Solution:

It is necessary to weigh your tail by tying some kind of load. Use any material at hand, a piece of a bag, a candy wrapper, a bunch of grass.

2. Another situation is when the kite does not want to take off or with great difficulty - your tail is heavy.

Solution:

If additional attributes in the form of bows and other weights hang on the tail, remove them. Or shorten the tail by cutting it off.

Now we know the main points necessary for the successful launch and control of the kite - it remains only to do this. Good luck with your flight!

Perhaps after that you yourself will want to make such a toy. Then, I bring to your attention several options for how to make a kite with your own hands. There you will find step by step instructions manufacturing simple models kite. With which a schoolchild can cope, and with your help a preschooler. Get a lot of pleasure from watching the flight of a kite made by yourself.

Kite "Rhombus" - I advise you to use this one.

Kite "Parachute"

Please leave comments: Share your impressions, your launch experience and the first attempts of your children to conquer heights.

Doing something yourself and checking how it works is certainly interesting. That's why people launch boats, paper planes, or other crafts. This is a great pastime with a child on the street. How to fly a kite so that it flies high, and how to control it correctly?

From the outside, everything looks simple - people launch complex figures into the air and can set their own height and speed of movement. How to achieve this? And why do snakes fly without large wings or other adaptations than a tail?


From the outside, the flight of a kite seems amazing. Especially when it rises smoothly by itself and holds on for a long time, carried away by unknown forces. A person regulates the speed and height of the kite by moving and pulling the line.

If you delve deeper, you can understand that 4 natural forces will act on it immediately upon launch:

The interaction of forces ensures flight. Resistance occurs under certain conditions. This happens when the air opposes any moving body. It is not difficult to check the activity of the force - open your palm and move it from side to side. You will feel a slight resistance.

Now take the cardboard and start fanning it like a fan. The difference is noticeable immediately - the air seems to slow down the movement. The operator uses this power.

He starts flying a kite like this: he puts the kite on the ground, takes the line and pulls it, moving quickly against the wind. The kite will take off. It is important to choose the angle here, as this will affect the overall takeoff speed. If there is a breeze outside, then a vacuum zone forms on top of the kite, which gives confidence to the movement. The aircraft uses the vacuum zone and begins to soar like an open sail.

It turns out that the main conditions for a quick takeoff and subsequent flight of the kite is the angle of attack, which is also the angle of the necessary lifting force. If the kite stands upright, then the natural air resistance will increase, and at the same time the lifting force will increase. In a horizontal position, it quickly decreases.

Wind characteristic for flights

No wonder it is so named - its flight primarily depends on the presence and strength of the wind. In calm, even a well-designed model will remain motionless. The only thing that can simulate the wind is physical effort, but then the operator will have to run constantly.

Force

First of all, before launching, you should check the weather: are tree branches, leaves and grass moving, raised flags are moving, are small ripples visible on the water? Great, the weather is right. It is important to find the "golden mean" of activity air currents. Strong gusts can break or blow the kite away.

Direction

Here the kite has taken off and soars. The best position is with your back to the wind, facing the kite. Determining the direction of air flow is easy. Where does the grass bend, the tips of the flags point, the packets fly? You can expose your face to gusts of wind, feel how it touches your cheeks.

Those friends who managed to launch the kites will serve as clues.

How to choose a place to launch

In order to fly a kite correctly, you must first choose a suitable location. Sometimes the launch is difficult - the kite barely got up, spins constantly, pulls on the fishing line. He will gain stability later, when he gains a certain height. Or it took off easily, and then “swarmed”, becoming uncontrollable.

It is more convenient to launch kites from a small hill - a hill, an embankment, a platform. You need to choose a flat place, not crowded with foreign objects. After launch, attention will be focused on the snake hovering above, so it is important to ensure freedom of movement in advance. It would be a shame to suddenly stumble while running.

Thus, perfect place to launch:

  • smooth, without debris and obstacles;
  • on a hill, a small mound;
  • there are no houses, horizontal bars, trees, roads, airports nearby.

Flying a kite: step by step instructions

To enjoy free flight, you need to fly a kite correctly. Take into account the weather, wind strength, choose a place, calculate the ideal launch angle.

First of all, using improvised means, determine the current direction of the wind. Remember, he is more active at altitude.

Launching a kite - alone, together

Strengthened wind. It is enough to release the snake, unclenching your hands, having previously settled down with your back to the gusts. Point the nose of the kite up before launching, holding the lifeline nearby, at the base. After releasing, slowly unwind the thread, increasing the height.

Double launch. The assistant holds the kite, directing his nose up. You, having unwound 20 meters of thread from the spool, step back. Command the assistant to open his arms and at the same time toss the kite. Watch as the released kite takes off rapidly, carried away by gusts of wind. Adjust the flight through the tension and length of the thread.

Weak wind. It seems that there is absolutely no wind below, but the tops of the trees are actively swaying. So, he is strong enough, only on top. Then it is important to help the snake to climb it.

Running alone. Having taken a position with your back to the gusts of wind, place the kite down on the ground exactly perpendicular, “facing” to you. Unwinding the rope, slowly move away, trying to keep it in the previously set position.

After stepping back 8-10 steps, sharply pull the unwound rope and run until the kite gradually rises, reaching the area of ​​active wind. Feeling how he caught the air currents, stop. Now you can adjust the hovering of the kite.

Double launch. The snake is held by an assistant. This method is great for a family run, when children help parents. Keep it high, aligning it strictly perpendicular to the gusts of wind. The child at this time departs, unwinding the rope.

When he rewinds 2-3 meters, ask him to run. Unclench your hands in time, giving the snake the opportunity to take off. That's it, now help the kid to regulate the flight of the kite. Be an assistant, prompting the child the nuances of control. So he can quickly learn how to fly a kite.

flight control

Basically it all depends on the actual wind strength:

  1. The wind has died down, the kite is falling - pull the rope faster by lowering your hand or stepping back. See that the thread remains taut at all times.
  2. Increased - on the contrary, unwind the rope, at the same time slightly loosening the tension and approaching the hovering snake. the main task- catch the moments of wind change and adjust the thread tension in time. In order for the kite to rapidly pull ahead - loosen it, if it decreases - tighten it.
  3. The flight is unstable - at first it soars, then suddenly starts to fall. Watching the chaotic movements you need to catch the dynamics. Remember, the direction of flight always depends on the position of the kite's nose.

body position

From the launch videos, it is noticeable that a person always has a snake in front of him. It is more convenient to track the flight, control the tension force and the length of the rope. Periodically, you need to move - run or move your hands. It all depends on the strength and direction of the wind.

The starting position is with your back to him, providing yourself with the freedom of possible movements.

First maneuvers

It is more difficult to launch when the wind is weak or, conversely, strong. If the gusts cannot be determined, they are constantly changing and the kite is prowling, trying to snatch the fishing line, then it is better to wait. It is extremely difficult and even dangerous to regulate the flight in such conditions.

There is no wind, the launch will be complicated. You will have to replace the elements with physical effort, constantly run so that the kite remains at the previously set height. It's easier when the wind is at the top. Then it is enough to raise the kite, later the element itself will pick it up.

Always look where the nose is pointed, this determines the flight path. Down - the kite will fall, up - it will rise.

If the kite falls

The situation will be saved by the following maneuvers - loosen the initial tension of the rope, allowing the wind to straighten the flight on its own. You can carefully adjust the direction of the nose. Wait for it to rise up and return the rope to its original tension. Adjust its length according to the wind pressure.

Is the fall inevitable? Loosen the rope, let the kite slowly lower itself.

Landing

Walked up, it's time to plant the snake. The right approach is needed here, especially when a strong wind holds. Many people think that it is enough to wind the thread and it will fly by itself. This approach is dangerous for crafts. Strong air currents can break the thread or harm the snake.

It is better to make sure the kite has a safe landing. Plant it across the wind. First take a position with the kite 90 degrees into the wind. Now slowly approach the hovering aircraft while shortening the thread. See that it remains taut and pliable enough.

Is it blowing hard? It is worth moving, looking for a zone where it is weakened and landing there. Move, reducing the length of the stretched thread as much as possible. A strong wind usually blows in gusts in one direction. There are quiet places. It is important to find such a safe zone and land the kite.

Safety

Although kite flying is considered a harmless activity, there are a number of precautions to be aware of.

But they did not write a very important thing: how to fly a kite. But in vain, because this is a rather important moment, in which there are several subtleties, very simple, but, nevertheless, significant. You can spend a lot of time until you figure it out on your own, and actually damage the structure. Therefore, we correct ourselves and tell you how to fly a kite.

Place to fly

This is not always easy. You need to fly a kite in the field. Ideal if the place is on a hill. It is necessary that the grass on the field be low, because, firstly, the rail and tail can catch on the grass when launched, and secondly, it is not very convenient to run in the grass to the waist while climbing or while controlling the kite. Important! We launch away from the trees. And very important! Away from high voltage wires!!!

How to fly a kite. Management

That kite, the design of which must be launched only by two. One person remains with the kite in place, holding it over his head against the wind, and the second moves away from him by about 50 meters, unwinding the rail. The stronger the wind, the farther you need to go. At the signal of the one with the handrail, the man with the kite releases it up. At the same time, a man with a lifeline starts to run - a kite rises into the sky.

When the kite rises, you can gradually begin to release (poison) the rail in order to gain altitude. If there is a sudden gust of wind, then you should let go of the rail a little to ease the pressure of the wind on the kite. If the wind subsides, on the contrary, it is necessary to pull the kite towards you or go against the wind.

Near the ground, the wind is gusty, and with such a wind the kite begins to “trump” (swing), so you should try to raise the kite as high as possible from the ground, where the wind is stronger and more even.

Precautionary measures

  • First, do not run near high-voltage wires. This was mentioned above.
  • Secondly, it is advisable to have gloves, otherwise you can cut your hands with a rail or even lose a finger. Take this moment seriously.

Kite games are fun and fun activity for any person. Making it even more interesting will help create a flying structure with your own hands. In the article we will tell you how to make a snake yourself.

This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age.

Are you over 18 already?

This device is rightfully considered the first aircraft created by man. It appeared several thousand years ago in China. National holidays China has not been held without flying colorful kites of various shapes. The most popular form was the dragon. This gave the name to the product "kite". Later, the product began to be used not only as entertainment, but also in scientific research, military affairs, construction (to create bridges) and for meteorological observations.

Currently, special kites are being created for some varieties of extreme sports. Flying a kite is a great pastime. Designing such an aircraft at home will help train observation, quick wit and unleash creativity.

Before you start creating a kite at home, decide on its type.

Consider the main varieties:

  • flat or single-plane - the simplest and most common type. The design of such a kite is in the same plane. It is easiest and fastest to make such a kite with your own hands, however, it is not characterized by high lifting power and a strong wind is contraindicated for it. The shape may be triangular or square, but diamond-shaped or rectangular is more common;
  • multiplanar - a more complex view than flat. There are box-shaped, stacked or with many cells. In the structure of such a kite, the tail is optional, because its distinguishing featurehigh level sustainability and stability;
  • the design in the form of a serpentine train consists of several elements combined into one. damage to one of constituent parts common system will not prevent the structure from remaining in the air, but may reduce flight altitude.

It is necessary to start making a kite with a drawing, it will help determine the size of the product.

Any aircraft in the form of a snake will contain such basic components as:

  • frame. This is the basis of the kite, consisting of rails, the location and number of which determines its type and model. Main function frame - maintaining the canvas in a taut form, ensuring the reliability, stability and strength of the finished product;
  • canvas or surface of the kite. This is the material that the frame is covered with. It provides the appearance of lift by creating a barrier to air;
  • connecting parts. They are needed if you want a flying kite to be mobile and easy to take apart easily. The choice of method for manufacturing these components depends on the model of the kite and the material from which it is made;
  • obligatory places for fastenings in the form of bridles and bindings. They differ in connection options (two or more). The most popular and simple bridle is with one junction. Its availability is that it does not need regulation and additional devices. Such designs are typical for more complex options. In this case, the control of the kite is carried out with the help of the tail. The bridle, which has two or more attachment points, allows you to adjust the angle of the kite. Instead of a bridle, a keel can be used - this is an inseparable element of the same material with the canvas. It provides a fixation of the angle of attack, and it can only be changed by means of several tails;
  • rail. This material is usually a thread or rope. It is important that the material is durable as it serves to hold the kite. The dimensions depend on the design of the aircraft;
  • winding coil. An indispensable piece of equipment that prevents tangling, speeds up and facilitates the unwinding and unwinding of the thread;
  • tail. It is not simple beautiful decoration kite, it is designed to stabilize the kite in the air.

There are models without a frame, in which case it takes the form of a kite from the wind. A common example of a frameless kite is a paraglider.

Let's go through step by step how to practice making a flat kite out of improvised materials:

  • take 2 wooden sticks: long and short. The size of the short one should be 4/5 of the long one (for example, 40 and 50 cm), we make small gaps at the ends with a knife. We fold the sticks perpendicularly so that the short one divides the long one in a ratio of 1: 4 (in our case, we measure 12.5 cm from the edge of the long stick). This will be the intersection point of our base. We wrap the joints with tape or a strong thread;
  • along the perimeter, through the prepared notches at the ends of the sticks, we thread a strong thread or fishing line, thereby forming the frame of our design;
  • cut out the desired shape plastic bag or light fabric around the frame, indent on each side (1.5-2 cm) to secure the edges. We fit the frame with the resulting canvas, tuck the edges, fixing them with adhesive tape or glue. From the inside, the design resembles an envelope of slightly irregular shape;
  • make a beautiful tail. You can use the remaining polyethylene, cut out several strips and twist them together. Also, a thread tied with ribbons in the form of bows can become a material for the tail. At the bottom of the long stick, secure the tail with tape, glue, or a pre-made hole;
  • in order to make a bridle, we tie threads to the short ends of the structure on the right and left, the length of each should reach, when tensioned, to the point where the rails intersect. We tie their ends together (our bridle is obtained), and attach a rail with a coil to it.

All! Our kite is ready!

Paper kite - the best way for beginners. It is easy to manufacture, does not require special materials and time-consuming.

To make the simplest version of a paper kite, the so-called monk kite, with your own hands, you will need:

  • thick paper or cardboard;
  • scissors;
  • scotch;
  • glue;
  • rope or strong thread;
  • reel for winding (you can use a small piece of cardboard as a reel);
  • ribbon;
  • felt-tip pens (if you want to decorate the resulting product).

The main steps for preparing a flying monk kite are:

  • First you need to cut a square out of paper. It is better to use A4 sheet, since the optimal length of the side of the square is about 25 cm;
  • fold the square diagonally, in the resulting triangle, fold the sides to the diagonal. The result is a well-known paper airplane. Fold the edges of the bent sides (airplane wings) again to the diagonal of the square. Thus, you will get an accordion. We carefully iron the fold points;
  • expand the resulting structure. In the corners of the accordion, located in the center, we make small holes where the bridle will be attached;
  • to make a bridle, we take a thread about 30 cm long. We thread the thread into the hole, tie it into a knot (for strength, you can glue these places with tape). To check the correct length of the bridle, double the thread attached to the paper, it should reach the middle of the nose line of the kite. Exactly in the center of the finished bridle we make a loop for attaching the handrail;
  • in order to make a tail, we take a tape about 1.5-2 cm wide. We calculate the length of the diagonal of the square or the line of the snake's nose (it must be at least 50 cm). To attach the tail to the bottom corner of the structure, make a hole, thread the tail through and secure it with tape or glue. For the tail, you can also use thin paper or several pieces of thread connected into one;
  • we tie a handrail with a coil for winding to the loop on the bridle. The coil can be made from cardboard. To do this, you need to cut a small rectangle, make a hole for the hand and for winding the thread;
  • on the last step decorate the resulting kite. With the help of your imagination, give the finished product a unique look.

It should also be remembered about such a feature of kites as fragility. It is not recommended to run them in strong gusty winds. Also, they cannot be taken apart.

Having studied the main points necessary to create your own product, you can easily make a unique kite that will bring you a lot of positive emotions.
