Kites
Easiest flying kites ever.
Directions:
- Fold a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".
- Fold again along the diagonal line A in Fig.2.
- Fold back one side forming kite shape in Fig.3 and place tape firmly along
fold line AB.(No stick is needed here because the fold stiffens the paper and
acts like a spine.)
- Place barbeque stick from point C to D and tape it down firmly.
- Cut off 6 to 10 feet of plastic ribbon and tape it to the bottom of the
kite at B.
- Flip kite over onto its back and fold the front flap back and forth until
it stands straight up. (Otherwise it acts like a rudder and the kite spins
around in circles.)
- Punch a hole in the flap at E, about 1/3 down from the top point A.
- Tie one end of the string to the hole and wind the other end onto the string winder.
