The kite is a game made of skeletons that can be made of bamboo or other strong lightweight materials, whose outer parts are coated by paper or plastic, these kites are played by means of tying the yarn then drawn to the wind and flying high and higher. As well as many of us who have happy memories while playing kites. However, the kite is quite expensive when you buy it at the store.
Therefore, why do not we try to make our own kites? Quite easy how to make it. Kites use simple physics laws, and their arrangement is also quite simple. Make a kite that is one of the many simple and practical crafts you can enjoy together with your child, niece, sister, or other family members.

And to make this type of simple kite we only need more or less 4 hours, if the required goods already there can be faster again, because we do not need to buy equipment first, so it will be more shorten the time, but although it looks simple fixed must be careful when you make it, the balance of wings kites become an important point.
Because when an unbalanced kite will cause the kites you make later can not fly because it just spins only in the sky, or commonly called the 'singit' but do not worry when the kites can not fly, I have a few tips to overcome that is by giving tail in under the kite, you can use scrap plastic.

How to Make Traditional Traditional Kites
Materials needed:
1 thin bamboo strip with a width of approximately 1 cm and a length of approximately 60-80 cm, depending on the length of the kite that will be made.
1 thin bamboo strips with a width of approximately 1 cm and a length of approximately 40-50 cm, depending on the width of the kites that will be made.
Oil paper of the same size that would be enough with the size of bamboo.
Marker.
Scissor.
Meter.
Isolation.
Thick bands of rolls.
Thread or thin strap.
How to Make:
Place the two bamboo blades in a crossed position, ie with the intersection of the 1/3 of the longest bamboo.
Tie them together using a thin thread or rope.
Tie and attach to the four ends of the bamboo was wearing rope or yarn to the framework of a diamond-shaped kite like a kite form in general.
If the frame has finished, then place the order on the oil paper.
Make a mark on the paper using a marker following the kite pattern.
To be more secure, give the distance approximately 2, 5 cm from the original size.
Cut the paper by using scissors in accordance with the same lines that have been made.
If you already, paste the paper into the frame using isolation. Do not forget, the width of the rest of the paper behind the first until the isolated the back side.
If required, newsprint or ribbon can be used as a tail. Not only to beautify, it also plays a kite-balancing role when later flown.
Make a hole in the center of the kite (next to where the bamboo frames) and insert the kite thread into the hole then tie it to the crosses frame.
Rebuild the hole below the midpoint of approximately 5-8 cm, depending on the size of the kite.
Link the thread from the midpoint to the hole below it.
