String the kite as shown in the diagram. This string is used for 'hummers' or 'buzzers only. Paper your kite with the tissue paper. First cut out all your shapes. Paste light colours before dark ones.
Paper lying over the inner strings lies flat.
Paper over the outer strings is turned over and glued on itself. This shows a side view of the bamboo bow - there should be a 3 inch space between the head stick and the 'hummer' string underneath. Notice the way the headstick is bowed. Decorations can be added to make the kite look pretty. Hearts and stars are common.
