![]() ![]() You might also want to check out the video above to get the low down on how to fly a kite. If the kite is a bit unstable, try moving the third ring back along the seam of the triangle. You can now decorate the kite as you wish, with stickers, or decals, or even some tiny LED lights if you want to try giving night flying a whirl! Flying your delta kiteġ0. Lastly, tie your string, or nylon, onto the ring on the smaller triangle and wind the other end around a winder. This will give you the flex you need for the kite to adjust to the wind.ĩ. You don’t want this too rigid though, just tight enough so it won’t fall out. The last piece of dowel is the removable cross piece, the ends need to be notched to receive the rings (see photo above). Sew the third on the tip of the small triangle.Ĩ. Sew 2 of the little rings onto these points. ![]() Measure up from each corner of the baseline and make a small mark at 41cm just inside the seam. Measure and cut the dowel to fit into each side pocket and the centre one then sew the seams shut to stop the dowel from falling out.ħ. This will secure the small triangle to the larger one and leave a tube to put in a piece of dowel.Ħ. You now have a sandwich of 3 layers of material, sew the 3 layers about 1cm from the centre line. Fold the larger triangle in half along the baseline, slip the smaller triangle in so that the longest part is right along the centre with the 25cm side being closest to the baseline (see photos below). Measure 54cms up from the ends of the baseline and sew across the seam to stop the dowel slipping to the end.įold and sew along the 17cm and 25cm sides of the little triangle.ĥ. Fold and sew the 2cm margin along the baseline.įold and sew the 4cm margins along the other sides, you need to leave enough room to slide the dowel into these two sides. Mark out a smaller triangle 35cm x 17cm x 25cm, leaving a 2cm margin cut this triangle out.Ĥ. Cut out, making sure you don’t forget about the margins!ģ. Join the end of this 45cm line to the ends of the baseline.Ģ. Mark out the large triangle which will form the main part of the kite, making sure to leave a 2cm margin along the baseline and a 4cm margin along the other 2 sides.Īt the midpoint of the baseline, erect a 45cm line at right angles to the baseline.
