Making A Kite | DIY Lovers🛠

You have come to the right place if you want to learn how to build kites. These three incredibly easy kites fly well despite being quick and simple to make.

Seeing the finished product floating around in the sky is inspiring! Each kite is designed to comfortably fit even a fairly small car’s trunk (boot). In any other case, a passenger in the back seat could grab onto it.

When flying the Simple Diamond and Simple Delta, you won’t feel like you’re flying a “little kite for kids,” thanks to their size.

Yes, adults or teenagers are the target audience for these designs. Primarily because a young child may not be able to handle them in a moderate wind. However, children over the age of eight should be strong enough.

Diamond Kite:

With the closed end at the top, lay your plastic bag flat on the ground.
Measure and mark three dots on the plastic beginning just below the top-left corner of the bag.
Use the black marker pen to join the dots on your ruler.
Trace over each of the black lines on the plastic’s reverse side.
Open the bag by making cuts along the top and right sides, revealing the whole sail outline.
Using your scissors, cut along every black line.
Lay down a length of your 5 mm (3/16 in.) dowel along the sail’s centerline, aligning it with the top sail corner and cutting it off at the bottom corner.
Insulation tape cut to a length of 5 cm (2 in) can be used to secure the dowel to the plastic.
Apply the same technique to the dowel’s bottom end.
similarly, finish the other dowel
Make a hole in the plastic sail directly over the point where the dowels meet.
Your flying line’s free end should be threaded through the opening and securely fastened around the intersection.
Create a long, narrow strip no shorter than five times the length of the kite from leftover sail plastic bits. The strip has to be around 2 inches (5 cm) broad.
Wrap the tail’s lower end around the vertical spar’s bottom. Make a basic knot to attach the tail to the dowel.

Delta Kite

With the closed end at the top, lay your plastic bag flat on the ground.
Measure and mark three dots on the plastic beginning just below the top-left corner of the bag. By sight, determine the horizontal direction.
Use the black marker pen to join the dots on your ruler.
Trace over each of the black lines on the plastic’s reverse side.
Open the bag by making cuts along the top and right sides, revealing the whole sail outline.
Using your scissors, cut along each black line.
Cut a piece of 5 mm (3/16 in) dowel to a length of 70 cm (28 in). Place this at the sail’s centerline.
Now trim two additional lengths, each 80 cm (32 in) long. Place them over the sail’s leading edges.
All of the tapes should be folded over to the plastic’s underside.
Cut a piece of dowel to 70 cm (28 in) in length and place it across the sail at a distance of 31 cm (12 1/4 in) from the nose. Lay two insulating tape pieces, each 20 cm (8 in) long, over the intersections.
Avoid having the tapes glued to the sail by carefully winding them around the dowels.
To hold the sail in place, add tape to the center of each leading edge. Additionally, carefully wrap a length of tape measuring 8 cm (3 in) around the spar joint.
Get your flying line, which I assume has been coiled into some spool or winder.
Make a hole in the plastic sail directly over the intersection of the horizontal and vertical dowels.
The flying line should be inserted through the hole and securely fastened around the vertical spar.
Create a long, narrow strip no shorter than four times the length of the kite from leftover sail plastic bits. The strip has to be around 2 inches (5 cm) broad.
Wrap the tail’s lower end around the vertical spar’s bottom. Make a basic knot to attach the tail to the dowel.
