You'll be blown away by this kite design

Once you have made a basic kite you might try more ambitious designs

<<< first instructions

		Lay the line tightly across the kite back, side corner to side corner, with the knot in the middle. Secure with three pieces of sticky tape at each point.
		Fold the sail (straws on the inside) and match up th two side corners so they are exactly together. Now take the two lines together in your forefinger and thumb and run them out to the loop at the end. Tie a knot that leaves 1 to 2 cm of thread loose.
		Hold the loop and check the two sail edges are matching. If they don't, undo the loop and repeat this instruction. This is the most important setting - if it is incorrect the kite will not fly well.

Be safe: always fly your kite in an open space
