Mini Kites

I have spent some time making mini Kites as demonstrations and trying to film the process. The first film below is 12 mins, I made a shorter one for Instagram. These are easy, can be made from a variety of materials and can be used running around the house, in the garden or at the park, where ever you are able to go. For windy days they are perfect.

Mini Bat and Ghost Kites for a windy Halloween

Very simple little Kites for a windy Halloween, I have to admit the bat did not fly very well, but he looks good, the ghosts are good at flying.

Easter Kites

I spent part of the weekend making kites as a party activity, it left me wanting to make my own. I love spring, but despair at the winds, that to quickly strip the trees of their blossoms. 
I think kite making and flying could be the perfect antidote.
