Autumn is the best time to build a kite. We'll show you how to easily build a kite yourself without much effort and fly it in wind and weather!

• Draw a rectangle (12 x 16 cm) on the paper using a pencil. Then draw the outline of the kite within this rectangle using a ruler. Cut out the outline with scissors.
• Now the kite can be painted in bright colors. For a funny face, then draw two large eyes, a nose, and a mouth – ideally using a thick black felt-tip pen.
• Then cut two paper strips, 1 cm wide, one 12 cm and the other 16 cm long. The strips are folded and bent lengthwise and then cut halfway in the middle, so that they can be slotted together in the next step.
• Now glue the longer paper strip along the longitudinal axis of the kite, and then glue the shorter strip perpendicular to it. Any protruding ends of both strips should be cut off.
• Thread a piece of yarn (length: approx. 80 cm) through the rear of the kite and carefully knot it in place.
• Cut small rectangles (2 x 5 cm) from the colorful crepe paper. Fold them into small accordions and tie them to the kite string, which should be at least one meter long.

• Now you can take the finished kite tail and tie it to the lower tip of the kite, fastening it behind the glued paper strips. Your self-made paper kite is finished.

  Have fun crafting!
