In a windy day, build a kite

The legend says that a chinese man, without any purpose in creating such an object, in a windy day; he must had failed because that’s the first reference to a kite. No one knows the exact date this episode occurs it happened about 2000 years ago.
To build one of these millenary toys it's a good way to enjoy a windy day. We found a lot of different ways to build a kite, this one seemed the cheaper, safer and easier.

What we need

• trash bag, the biggest you can find, white ones work best to decorate, but the black ones are ok,
• 2 wooden sticks, they should be thin and have about 20 and 23 in,
• scissors,
• exact-O knife,
• string, with 0,05in diameter,
• 1 small ring, 1/2 in diameter,
• ruler,
• tape,
• Color markers, ribbons, and any other materials you wish to use.

How to:

1. Open the plastic bag in order to get a plastic "sheet";
2. Measure 1in in each of extremities of both wooden sticks;
3. With the exact-O knife open a small cut, around the wooden sticks, on each one of the marks, those will be needed to place a piece of string;
4. Measure 6in on the larger stick and 10 on the smaller;
5. With the help of the adhesive tape attach both wooden sticks on those points, at the end you should have a structure in T;
6. Place this T on top of the plastic sheet;
7. With the marker and the ruler, draw 4 straight lines linking the 4 extremities of the wooden sticks;
8. Now, get the scissors, and cut around the lines with a margin of 2in;
9. Tie the string with a knot to the first cut on the wooden stick;
10. Take the string to the second cut, repeat the action;
11. Do the same to the 4 cuts, see figure;
12. Place this T back on the plastic;
13. Fold the 2in plastic margins to cover the string;
14. Glue the plastic with the adhesive tape;
15. The kite is ready; decorate it as you wish;
16. Attach a ribbon to the larger end of the "t".

Placing the wire:

1. Carefully make a small hole in each extremities of wooden sticks, about 1 1/2in from the end;
2. Pass the wire through these holes and tie a knot, according to the figure, these knots must be strong and tight otherwise the kite can broke with the wind;
3. Look to the image, attach the 4 wires at the center using the ring; 
4. Wrap the remaining wire in a "reel", broom stick type, but smaller, about 8in wide;
5. Tie the other end of the wire to the ring;

Et voilá!
Ready to fly! Watch out for electrical wires and trees.
