- Buthcher cord
- Scotch tape or gule
- 1 sheet of strong paper
- 2 strong straight wooden sticks of bamboo

After the materials have been prepared, the directions bellow is easy instruction on how to make a kite :
- Make a cross with the two sticks, with the shorter stick placed horizontally across the longer stick
- Tie the two sticks together with the string in such a wway as to make sure that they are at right angles to each other.
- Cut a notch at each end of the sticks. Make it deep enough for the type of string you are using to fit into. Cut a piece of string long enough to stretch all around the kite frame.
- Lay the sail material flat and place the stick frame face down on top. Cut around it, leaving about 2-3 cm for a margin. Fold these edges over and glue it down so that the material is tight.
- Make a tail by tying a small ribbon roughly every 10 cm along the length of string
- Decorate your kite with the markers.
