The Sled Kite

The Sled Kite
By: Jeremiah F.

I will tell you how to make a sled kite. First you have to read the directions and then make a list of supplies. You need dowels, gift wrap or plastic kitchen garbage bag, bendable straws, string, packing tape, scissors, permanent marker, and a yard stick. Check to see if you have everything on your list and then you make the kite.
First mesure 18” from top to bottom. Then 13 3/4” from botom to center and 9” in from side to middle. Draw straight lines down the center & across the middle. Reinforce the center with tape and cut an X there. Mark 1” lines centered at each corner. Then draw lines to connect. You have a diamond shape. Now cut the plastic bag in the shape of a the diamond. After that decorate the kite with permanent marker. Cut the straw into 4 parts and tape them to the corner for support. Then put the dowels in the straw posckets and tape down the dowels. Finally connect the line to the dowels through the X
When you fly your kite, keep it away from electric wires and on’t fly on stormy days.
Finally, go fly your kite!
