Build Your Own Kite Plans

by Kevin Humphrey on April 11th, 2006

A couple of weeks ago, I highlighted the very cool Keyring Kites (see here). They’re the ones that fold down into a tiny pouch that fit easily into your pocket so you never have to miss an opportunity to take a time-out and indulge in some simple pleasures.

Well, here are a bunch of cool plans for making your own homemade kites from paper. I don’t imagine that these would work very well on fairly windy days, but I think they’d be great for when you’ve got a nice gentle breeze happening.

Courtesy of Gomberg Kites, here are the plans for 5 different kinds of kites…

• The Paper-Fold Bumble Bee
• The Basic Sled
• 20 Kids - 20 Kites - 20 Minutes
• The Paper Bag Kite
• The Kite Arch
