It's not summer without a little kite-flying action. Sure, you can buy one cheap enough, but why not get creative and extend the family fun by making your own. It comes together fast!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
• A roll of clear contact paper
• A ball of string
• Straws (two for the width, three for the length)
• Scissors to cut out tissue paper shapes
• Ribbon
STEP 1: Tie straws together at the center with string. Cut contact paper into two diamond shapes; peel backing off one and place sticky side up. Press straws onto paper.
STEP 2: Stick tissue paper shapes all over, then top with second diamond sheet. Loop string around each corner, then tie them together for the bridle. Add a ribbon tail.
