Step 1: Things you will need... (halLemon-Squeezy-ee-
Cream)(bse insides coryFAN928)FSGESDOGFINSEZBFSGERDOS LARGE Pa)
In order to make your kite you wil need:
A sheet of plastic that measures 33 1/2" by 24", l used a very large plastic bag
but a sturdy black bin bag is about right too
A smallor sheet of plastic measuring 19 1/2" by 26*. This is about the size of a
standard cartier bag, but again bin bags or any plastic sheeting is good.
-3 balsa wood dowels 24" long. I've used 6mm dowels, but larger ones will also
work. Balsa dowels are available from craft shops and hardware shops, but it
neither are available, garden canes are also a good alternative (the green sticks
to keep plants on the straight an narrow)
-Sticky tape, double sided sticky tape and reinforced sticky tape. | used a heavy
duty cloth gaffer tape, but gaffer tape or all weather tape of any sort will work.
well
-Kite ine and handle. Available from specialists and some toy shops and online.
In the UK, Kite Shop (http:/www-kiteshop.co.uk/) has a massive range or stuff
‘A mid weight fishing line can also be used and is a bit cheaper and re-usable,
Hole punch, scissors, marker pen and tape measure.

Do the same for the sleeve pattern using the smaller sheet of plastic. The line
down the middle of this pattern is not a cutting line. Its just the marker for the
‘middle of the sleeve, you'll see why in abit.(hmpean.nsrusabes.corvFSiKJSPIFSHVHPOAIFEBK SPFSHVHPOS LARGE pa)
Position the 3 dowels in place as shown in the photo and sticky tape them in
place, Use as much sticky tape as you feel necessary. | put 3 wide strips of ton
the top, bottom and middle of the dowels,
Make sure that the sticky tape goes right round the dowel and sticks to the
Plastic. You don't want your dowels falling out mid fight. Loosing an eye by kite
isnot cool. | find a roling motion when sticking the tape down eliminates this
risk,

Caretuly line up the edge of the sleeve with the outside ofthe dowel and secure

allow air to escape from the tunnels and hinder your kites flight.
Step 6: Reinforce your kite(tplcennsraitiencon/FMPKTPIFSHVHPOUFMPRIPFSHVHPQU.LARGE pa)

I your turn your kite over, youll realise itis now looking very kitey indeed,
‘To make sure you don't loose your kite on it's maiden flight, you need to
reinforce all the points of stress. This includes where bridle will be tied and
where the spars are.
A bridle is the string or line that is permanently attached to the kite, Its this
Which you attach to your line in order to fly it. A kite has a bridle so that tis easy
to attach and detach from a line rather than tying fiddly knots all the time.
‘The spars are what your doweling becomes as soon as itis attached in place.
‘They give the kite i's structure, although not all kites have spars.
But, reinforcing, The picture shows you all the points that need to be reinforced
with the reinforced sticky tape, This won't always look particularly pretty, but you
won't see it once i's in the sky. If there is any overhiang of tape, just trim it.Step 7: Punching holes

(ttouednnetsctbls com FPUB8L SIFSHVHPSAIFPIBELSFSHVHPSO LARGE pa)
Punch the holes for your bridle to go through.
Using the hole punch, line up the corner of the kite, which you reinforced in the
previous step and punch a hole. Make sure the hole isn too close to the edges.Step 8: What your kite should look like by now

You are now ready to attached the bridle line to the kite. This isthe string that,
stays permanatly attached to the kite that allows a kite line and handle to be
attached to when ready for use.
‘There are various methods for doing this. A length of kite line should be
attached between points A and B, Tie a loop in this string, this is where you will
attach your standard kite line to in order to fly your kite.
{An ideal knot to attache your kite string to you Kite is the larks head know, a
