How to Create a Paper Bag Kite
The summer provides a great time to spend time with your kids. I found a guide on the Factory Direct Craft blog that explains how to create a paper bag kite and this project looks like a lot of fun. I am going to make this with my kids because it looks like a lot of fun. I have always enjoyed crafting and my kids seem to enjoy it as well. There are many great craft ideas that are perfect for kids of any age.
The necessary craft supplies for this project are a Paper bag, Clear tape, Scissors, Sock yarn or kite string, and a Yarn needle.
1. Trim the top of the bag until is it even and then remove the seam from the bottom of the kite. There should be a flat paper tube remaining.
2. It is now time to decorate the bag. Your kids will love this part.
3. Cut the center of the tube close to the seam
4. On a flap in the center of the kite, add 3 layers of tape. These should be on top of each other.
5. Next, you will need 2 feet of yarn. With the yarn needle, thread the yarn you just cut through the tape about 1/3 inch from the edge and make a knot.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other remaining flap.
7. Tie a not at the center of the yarn and you should then attach a piece of string. This will be used to fly the kite.
8. Create the tails by taping 10-14 inch sections of string to the flaps along the bottom.
9. You are ready to fly your kite after adding some extra string to the loop.
