First you must "thread" . Do this by taking a Coffee Stir Stick and bend into half. Then put the Fishing line through (it's that easy) . Then you stick the BBQ Skewers into the end of the stir sick . Make sure that you push the skewer all the way into the stir sticks' bend (if not your kite frame will rip apart). To make 1 triangular frame, you must use: 3 BBQ Skewers, 3 Coffee Stir Sticks, lenghty string of fishing line. At the end , you must tie the line into a secure knot.
>Make 144 triangular frames.
>Make 144 triangular frames.
Once you have 144 trianagular frames , the next step is to put on Home Wrap. To do this take 3 already made frames and "tie" them together with tape. Then tape down the 3 attached trianlges to the home wrap. The next step is a bit trickier. Using scissors , cut off each corner . You only need to have 2 triangles covered with home wrap . When all cut out , you can tape the sides down.
Now you can fold your triangle . It should easy fold in with a little pressure. Tie the top with Fishing line and you are all set! Now you need to make just 15 more...
When you have all 16 cells (trianles with Home Wrap), attach in Quarters. Once you have 4 Quarters, you can attach them all together. The end result should look similar to a pyramid.
Now you are ready to fly!!
