How to make a kite for beginners, the origin of kites, materials, benefits for people

The shape of the kite is mainly to imitate the creatures of nature, such as birds, insects, animals and geometric three-dimensional.

In terms of patterns, they are mainly designed by personal preference, and there are a variety of promotional Peugeot, animals, butterflies, birds, etc.

In addition to silk and paper, the kite is also made of plastic materials, and the bone poles are made of bamboo, wood and glue.

Recently, someone has designed a boneless kite, and its structure is to introduce air into the wind pit made of silk.

The kite forms a gently floating air pillow, and then rides the wind on it. China, Malaya, the Philippines and Japan also have one.

A kind of large-sized kites, which are released into the blue sky at every kite festival, and the size of these kites ranges from 10 to 20 feet.

Wait. The bone pole is made of large bamboo liters, and more than 100 people put it.

Kite-making tools: paste, paper knife.

Materials for making kites: bamboo strips, gauze strips, horse-drawn paper.

1) This square kite is now the most used and most common.

2) The skeleton of the kite is very simple to make up of two sticks.

3) Although the method is simple, there are many changes in appearance, and a lot of work can be done.

Preparation: 1First of all, the bamboo strips are soaked in water, so that the bamboo strips are soft, and then the bamboo strips are broken with a knife, about one-third of the thickness, and then the half shape is repaired, because the bamboo strips will be pasted on the horse-drawn paper later, if it is too thick, the bamboo strips will break the paper, and the bamboo strips are too thick, and the yarn paper strips will not be stable.

Cut the repaired bamboo strips into two lengths of about (16 inches and 23 inches).The next step is to cut the mara paper into a square, about 24 inches long, which is a very coarse paper that is best suited for kites.

2.At this point, you can stick the bamboo strips on the paper, but remember to tie the long bamboo strips with gauze paper in the short thirds, and then slowly bend until the ends of the long bamboo strips touch the opposite corners of the paper and paste it.

3.The last step is to attach the tail of the kite to the underside of the kite, and after the angle between the line and the kite, it can be lifted.

4.The tail of the kite is the main tool for balancing the kite, when the kite rides the wind, if one side is heavier, the kite will be biased to this side, and the tail is better to be longer, because the longer it is, there will be a weight The head of the kite rises, so that the whole body is affected by the wind, and the oblique side is balanced.

5.The silk thread of the kite can be divided into round threads and row rollers with cowhide threads, cotton threads, glass threads, etc., and the threads can be tied to the kite at an oblique angle.

Prepare materials and tools: newspaper, thin bamboo strips, tape, kite string, scissors.

1. First take a piece of newspaper, you can also use a cloth and fold it as shown in the picture below.

2. Then cut off the excess part of the newspaper, and after opening, cut out a square of newspaper, as shown in the figure below.

3. Then prepare two thin bamboo strips, preferably fresh bamboo, because of good elasticity and easy to bend.

4. Then, as shown in the figure below, fix the bamboo strips to the square newspaper, and one of the bamboo strips should be bent. It is more convenient to fix it with adhesive tape.

5. Take another piece of newspaper and cut out six strips of paper on the longest side.

6. Fix 6 strips of paper on the kite, as shown in the figure below.

7. Cut out two more lines, fix them to the kite as shown in the figure below, and glue them firmly with tape, so that a kite is ready.

8. Finally, take a look at the scene of flying a kite in the wild, it is easy to fly. Precautions for kite flying.

1. Site selection: Do not choose to fly kites near wires, trees, and railways, as an open place is conducive to kites taking off and flying.

2. Height: The kite should not be flown too high, it is difficult to control, and the line may be broken.

3. Weather: Choose sunny and sunny weather to avoid lightning strikes during thunderstorms.

4. Model: Children need to choose small kites for kite flying to avoid the occurrence of heavy winds dragging children.

Kite Flying Tips:

First of all, you can understand the speed of the wind direction, and you can look at nearby flags and streamers, and the direction in which you are floating is the correct direction.

Secondly, you should also pay attention to the situation of the kite flying while running forward against the wind, you can release the line when the wind is strong, and reel in when it is weak.

Note: 1: The paper must be plastic, otherwise it will be blown by the wind.

2: The wooden stick should not be thin or thick, too thin and easy to break, too thick and too heavy to fly to the sky.

3: The line must be a fishing line.

The materials used to make kites are generally as follows:

In addition to silk and paper, kites are also made of plastic blades, and bone poles are made of bamboo strips, wood and glue sticks. The tools used to make kites include paste, paper knives, etc. It should be noted that the paper used in the kite requires long fibers, toughness, thinness and lightness, small air permeability, and good colorability.

How to make a kite:

1. First soak the bamboo strips in water to make the bamboo strips soft, and then use a knife to break the bamboo strips, about one-third of the thickness, and then trim the half-shape. Because the bamboo strips will be pasted on the horse-drawn paper later, if they are too thick, the bamboo strips will tear the paper, and at the same time, if the bamboo strips are too thick, the yarn paper strips will not be stable. Cut the repaired bamboo strips into two strips of length and appropriate length, about (16 inches and 23 inches).

After that, the horse-drawn paper is cut into a square, about 24 inches long.

2. Stick the bamboo strips on the paper, but remember to tie the long bamboo strips with gauze paper to the short one-third, and then slowly bend until the two ends of the long bamboo strips touch the opposite corners of the paper and paste it.

3. Stick the tail of the kite under the kite, calibrate the angle between the line and the kite, and then you can take off.

4. The tail of the kite is the main tool to balance the kite, when the kite rides the wind, if one side is heavier, the kite will be biased to this side, and the tail needs to be longer, because the longer it will have a weight to make the head of the kite rise, so that the kite is affected by the wind all over the body, balancing the oblique side.

5. The silk thread of the kite can be made of cowhide thread, cotton thread, glass thread, etc., and the thread roller can be divided into round thread roller and row roller. Be careful to tie the line to the kite at an angle.

1. Originally, kites were used for military needs such as transmitting information and flying over obstacles.

2. Kites originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and have been around for more than 2,000 years. According to legend, "Mozi is a wooden kite, which is made in three years, and flies for one day and fails." "By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, kites began to become a tool for conveying information.

From the Sui and Tang dynasties, due to the development of the paper industry, the folk began to use paper to mount kites. In the Song Dynasty, kite flying became a favorite outdoor activity.
