Kites provide unlimited entertainment for both children and adults. If the kite doesn't have a kenur yet, you'll need to tie it and make a knot yourself. Start by making a hole, then tie a kenur into it and make a knot to tie it. Finally, tie a long string of string to the knot you made to fly the kite. Have fun flying the kite!
Step
Part 1 of 2: Making the Hole and Attaching the Kenur
Step 1. Make two holes facing each other at the meeting point of the kite frame
At the back of the kite, there are 2 skeleton rods. One of the rods is installed vertically and the other horizontally. Make a small hole in the kite 1 cm above the horizontal frame. After that, make another hole diagonally opposite the first hole, about 1 cm below the horizontal frame.
- Use sharp scissors or skewers to make holes.
- Kite frames can be made of bamboo, plastic, or wood.
Step 2. Make two additional holes 20 cm below the first hole
Measure a distance of 20 cm below the meeting point of the frame. After that, make small holes in the kite on both sides of the vertical frame. Again, make a hole 1 cm away from the frame.
If you don't have a ruler, just measure with 1x the length of your hand, instead of 20 cm
Step 3. Fold two strands of kenur 2 meters long
Special Kenur for kites is the best choice because it can withstand strong winds. However, if you don't have one, just use regular yarn instead. Fold the kenur to make it stronger and more durable.
Buy kenur from a sports shop
Step 4. Insert the kenur into the top hole and back into the bottom hole
Insert the end of the fold about 5 cm into the top hole through the front of the kite. After that, pull the kenur back toward you through the diagonally opposite hole.
Loop the kenur over the kite's frame as it comes back toward you
Step 5. Tie the front of the kite twice
Hold the folded end of the kenur with one hand and the other end with the opposite hand. After that, cross the folded kenur to the other end and push the folded end through the loop made. Pull the two ends of the kenur tightly to make a knot. Repeat this process one more time to create a double knot.
This common knot is often used to tie shoelaces
Step 6. Insert the kenur into the bottom 2 holes
Push a 5 cm long sledgehammer into one of the bottom holes. Don't pull it too tight. Instead, leave the kenur loose to make a loop. Then, thread the end of the kenur back toward you through the other bottom hole.
After entering through the second hole, make sure the slats pass through the vertical frame
Part 2 of 2: Making the Knot
Step 1. Tie the kenur twice to make it strong
Hold the kenur 5 cm long with one hand and loop with the other. After that, use the first part of the kenur and tie it twice. This will prevent the kenur from coming off.
Gently pull the knot to tighten it if it still feels a little loose
Step 2. Tie a knot in the kenur loop 20 cm from the hole
Hold the kenur circle away from the kite. Measure 20 cm from the hole to the top of each piece of rope and mark. Take the two points and tie them together to make a smaller circle.
- This will help balance the kite and keep it flying straight.
- Cut the remaining kenur.
Step 3. Tie a long kenur to the loop you have made
This long kenur will be used to fly kites. Take the end of the kenur and tie it twice to the loop on the kite. Tie it twice to prevent it from coming loose.
