T . . . >•••.. * - / Now, perhaps a groeery-bag-and-newapapef plaything may not seem very exciting or beautiful while you're putting it togather . .. but-once you get it up in the sky—MOTHER'S kite will certainly "outshine" many more colorful and expensive models. ^ Hot's all you need: 1 large grocery bag (about IT deep), a 3/18- dowel U’ longl, cotton atring tor the brfcUe. masking or strapping tape, newspaper tor a tail, and glue lor t f Pf ' 10 r* ,t * n t '’' pB P® r together. A large-sized bsg produces a 17" square with a diagonal .. so just one 4' dowel wiO make a kite. MOTftER'a flyer can also be scaled larger (up to 24-| or smaller (down to (5*1 with a IIS' dowel. Finally, as lor tools, you7] need a pocket knits, scissors, a ruler, knd a pencil Now. . .here's how to proceed: f

TURN KITE OVER

STfeP 1: Cut down the seam of the paper bag and remove the sack's bottom. Them ♦ spread the bag flat and measure off a 17’ sqiiare. This can be done by folding the corn g °?* 80naUy *J P 10 th * 109 edge but don ’ f cr ®**« the paper. • STEP 2: Cut but theequare (this is the back of the like as seen in Fig. 1) and make the dots as iUystrated. Position these marks halfway between the corners of the kite and its center. ■ » STEP 3: Reinforce the dots with strips of tape. -STEP 4: Cut your dowel into spars that fit diagonally from corner to corner. Lay them in place-and tape the ends so the strips of adhesive lap ouer the corners and around to.the front of the kite. Strapping tapp is great for this job. but other types will do. • STEP 5: Poke,a hole through each of the dote end turn the kite over. STEP 6: Cut a 20* and a 12* length of bridle string. Tie the ends of the 20’ string through the holes and over the spars at the "top" of the square (Fig. 2). Then, tip one end of the 12’ length around the intersection of the spars at the center. With that done, find the midpoint of the upper string and tie a loop in it. Next, run the string which comes from the center of the kite through this loop, pull it up until the plane formed by the top string is perpendicular to the face of the kite (Fig. 2L and knot the bndle together. ( '?T I ? P 7: 2 ?* Mction of Btrin « 10 nmke ■ harness. Then, tje the ends of this cord through the "bottom" holes and over the spars ... and knot a loop in the middle of the string (Fig. 3), STEP 8: Your kite's tail should be made o*7’-wide strips, cut across the 24’ width of the newspaper. (You can slice several sheets at e time.) Glue the strips end to end using as many as 10 for a 17*-long kite. IMPORTANT: Crumple and smooth out the finished tail at least three times to soften the newspaper, then attach the appendage as shown in Fig. 3. (You can wrap the tail around the kite for easy transportation and storage.) Now. simply fasten your kite's flying string (strong crochet thread will work fine in slight bre&es, and braided fishing line is the top choice for especially blustery days) to the bridle loop-Fig. 3—and just watch the recycled flyer dance on the winds! • For FREE additional Information on homacraft. and on THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS maouina tend your ,w ,, • p,ln, No 824 ' 0,,, Necwices". «•" to Dome MORE With LESSI, P O Bo* 70.
