Our Plastic Bag Kite

We made your 'kite for kids' today out of a plastic bag.

Attached is a photo of my 6 year old flying it. He has never flown a kite before.

Great success.

Thanks for posting the instructions :-)

Regards,

That's a fine high-visibility version of the Tiny Tots Diamond design he's flying there! On light enough line (less than 20 pound breaking strain), this little kite will happily fly at around 100 feet off the ground too.

FREE E-Book!

I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. Each kite is capable of flying hundreds of feet up for hours on end.

Could you do me just a small favor though?
