Note: A thin gray line has been added to show where the crease is.
Note: It's just too tricky to tape it all down in one go!
Note: The paper won't crease sharp due to all the sticky tape, but pinch firmly anyway.
Note: The most practical way to do this is with the paper sail over the edge of a table-top. This lets the wide end of the upper spar piece swing out of the way while you align and tape the corners and edges of the lower spar piece. See the photo.
Note: Be careful not to put any unnecessary strain on that paper join, particularly while it is being stuck together.
As mentioned earlier, there's more kite-making on this site than you can poke a stick at :-)
