How To Tie A Kite String 9 Steps With Pictures

Use scissors or a sharp stick to make the hole. The kite sticks can be plastic or wooden.

If you don’t have a ruler, measure 1 hand-length instead of 18 centimetres (7. 1 in).

Purchase kite string from a sports store.

Loop the string over the kite sticks when you thread the string back toward yourself.

This common knot is often used to secure shoelaces.

When you thread the string through the second hole, make sure it goes over the vertical kite stick.

Lightly tug on the knot to tighten it if it feels a little loose.

This helps to balance the kite and allows it to fly straight. Trim off the excess string with a pair of scissors.

Consider wrapping your flying string around a piece of wood or tubing. This allows you to vary the length of the string and gives you more control over the kite.
