Now on the kite market there are many new and unique models. Professional sports snakes have reached unimaginable sizes, that even with a gale, these units calmly soar in the sky. But the cost of such structures is very high, so why not make kite simpler from improvised materials? Today we’ll look at how to make a kite in the shape of a hexagon itself.
Manufacturing process
The whole structure is built from one main supporting beam and two additional perpendicularly attached. Due to this placement of the sticks, the stretched canvas resembles a hexagon. All bases are pulled together by strings or fishing line.
1. We take a stick (in our case, plastic). If the base length is less than 40-60 centimeters, then two parts can be glued together. Cut the line equal to 0.9 length of the stick. (We have a frame 60 centimeters long, cut off 54 centimeters of fishing line).

3. Pass the fishing line and fix it on the edge. We made a ball out of ordinary paper, and glued it to the end of the fishing line, then we stuck it in a tube and again dropped the moment. When you connect the two ends of the fishing line with the ends of the tubes, you get something like a bow.

4. Do the same with two small sticks. We took plastic sticks with a length of 30 centimeters, the length of the fishing line was 27 centimeters.

5. We mark on the main rail the future attachment points of our auxiliary elements. The distance is measured 0.2 of the entire length of the stick. We got 12 centimeters from each end. (Points H and H1)
6. Fasten additional parts to the base with thread and glue.
7. After the construction has dried, we pull the fishing line around the entire perimeter of the hexagon, capturing each vertex.
8. The result was a design, on the one hand, curved, on the second an even hexagon.
9. Expand oilcloth or paper on the table.
10. We lay the even side of the structure on the paper and mark the vertices. Using the obtained points, draw a hexagon.
11. Make an allowance of 2-4 centimeters. Cut out the paper.
12. We attach the structure and carefully bend the sides and glue it with tape.
13. Having glued the entire perimeter, we proceed to the manufacture of the bridle and the rail.
14. On the convex side at the points of attachment of the beams to each other, we tie a silk thread, about 15 centimeters long. We do this on both sides.
15. Connect the threads together, insert the rubber ring (you can also without it).
16. Tie the main thread to the bridle.

17. At will, you can make the tail of our snake.
18. Cut the circles of paper and fold them with an accordion, divide in half, bandage. The bow is ready.
