Long before the High-Flyer paper kites and Gayla kites reach the warm coast of Puerto Rico early in the 1960's we had the very similar home-made Lebanese paper kite. They were called CAPUCHINOS. We used exactly the same materials, though the tail was made form very thinly cut pieces of scrap textiles. ¡¡¡¡GRACIAS!!!!
Greetings from North Baltimore, MD, USA, Samo! Thank you very much for posting this brilliant, fun video! I am a long-time kite flier & fly the sophisticated airfoil kites w/ my club. (My kites are made of rip-stop nylon, like parachute/hang glider fabric). Typically in good winds, 5 - 30 mph, I get them up 400 to 500 ft. This paper kite, however, is truly an AMAZING design & you explained the creating procedures so well! Great for teaching basic kite aerodynamics to anyone, esp. children who are beginning to learn kite flying in general. A really cool classroom art & crafts project that will stick in childrens' minds for them to share w/ their families & eventually w/ their own children and grandchildren for generations. I've modified the materials somewhat to slightly heavier cardstock paper & using crochet thread instead of lightweight sewing thread. I also taught my first kite-making class to use a hand-operated paper punch tool. It was safer & easier for the young children to use this office tool instead of the scissors. Finally, rather than your traditional diamond-shaped holes, the paper punch tool creates round holes around which we glued lightweight paper reinforcements w/ the same size holes to prevent the line from cutting into the cardstock paper. As a result, the class could fly their kites confidently at the beach where higher wind speeds would not damage the more durable kites w/ these materials. Prior to punching holes & attaching lines, I also encouraged the class to use child-safe felt markers to either color block the sections of the folds or create designs of their own. Your traditional principles, regardless of our modifications, are still very reliable and consistent w/ sturdier materials. One in the class had a recent birthday & attached a length of his gift wrapping ribbon from a present along side your paper tail design for an even more interesting flying effect. Thank you for sharing this video. It brought lots of smiles and joy to a lot of folks on this side of the world! Many thanks once again from all of us! Salaam aleikum! :-)
Made this with the great instructions, and it worked well. Flew very high! I reinforced the paper with scotch tape before cutting the holes, just in case. Ours ended up in a tree, but since we used construction paper and thread, it might eventually make nesting material for wild animals. Will continue using this method. Thank you!
Jt nw i make this paper kite really v awesome tq v much my little son was v happy , from morning onwards he is asking me to make , because of u i fulfilled my littleone's wish tq v much 👍👍
Really nice I loved it, I used to make and fly the same kite when i was a child it is called CAPUCHIN in my country, but i forgot how to really make it. This video helped to remind it. My 3 years old is going to enjoy it. I will do it as soon as i get home. Thanks a lot!!!
I'm sorry for the late comment but wow!!I didn't expect that even a 13 y/o me can manage to follow your instruction and gets succeed!!Thank you very much!!
Morris: Thanks for your interest! Try the lightest cardstock weight recommended for printing business cards. The crochet thread I use is, in fact, cotton; however, nylon poly is lighter & does not a absorb moisture as much as cotton line which would make it heavier. I have not experienced any problems w/ either choice, so feel free to experiment. The most important thing about mounting your line onto the paper kite is to take meticulous care reinforcing all holes you cut/punch into the kite w/ scotch tape to avoid damage to the kite from your line. Happy flying! :-) Robby of Maui
Don't know if the kids do it now a days, but we flew this same design in the Bahamas in the seventies, I wonder how the design got to us :) I'd forgotten the little details but came looking because it's national nite flying day here. Thank you for the reminder
Wow.....this is a perfect kite!.....cheap, easy to make, and enjoyable while theres a quarantine😃😃.....i tested it while running....and it balance perfectly!!👌...this is a perfect video im finding
just wondering why u placed the bridle holes where u did,i remember making these as a kid & we put the holes in the uppermost point in the small triangle part?,does it make any difference?
Who else did this 24/7 as a kid?
Me
Too

Thanks for this.
I live in a windy spot and need to make mine heavier too. What weight card stock did you use? And was your crochet thread cotton?

I love the fact it's using only clean materials (no tape) - thank you so much
+fokjhgytr easy and simple thank you 😊
'Thank you' from Canada. Just built it and took it outside in very gentle breeze. Flew great!
How much speed is required to fly it
Not a lot it’s very easy to fly

I bet this would work I am doing this on the last day of the term which I am homeschooling
Worked perfectly! Thank you!!!
No
Is it ok if I use scissors to cut it bc I don5 have multi purpose thread so I’m using sewing thread and it won’t cut
Sure you can
Wow...😰 it's fly high and very easy to make thanks to share this video

Others:Nice...Great...It Flies
Me:It sucks it didn't fly it was been shredded in the sky
Thank you very much our school need kites
I make this wonderful kite and gave it to my school !!!
You are very welcome Reem
you are genius and awesome sir......i like it.......
Thank you 😃
I just made one. It flew. Yes it did. But the wind was too strong it got entangled on the wires nearby. Short-lived but fun.
I'm sure that when it is entangled it is really cool or satisfying to watch
I like this one cause it looks more like a plane
very nice
I tried to make one it was right and it didn't work
It was fun watching your video. So glad to be friends!!♥️♥️💚💙💚💜👍🍬
What is the maximum wind speed allowed?
It can resist hurricane katrina
@@Taha-wb9bu ah, you tried it out, naturally 😉
Of course yes
Brilliant we just did it! Now we need wind... lol
Haha
we call this "capuchino" we make them for the kids
woudn't it fly better upside down? The pointed part towards the bottom?...
Can I draw with newspaper
Yes make sure to cut the same printing paper measurements 8 1/2 x 11
Its not a good kite its a epic legend kite so cool❤❤❤
Great idea
you are sure this is flying
It is very beautiful
Thank you
thank you very much and Congratulations 🎉
fantastic idea
Thank you very much
Love you
So clean!
Thank you
Thank you. Just made it, will test it outside soon
Will it work if i make like 3 tails instead of 1?
You could try make sure it doesn’t get very heavy
hi @@fixitsamo

IS IT BETTER THAN NORMAL???
Great job! Thank you.
Thank you brother
The little kite, flying in the air, is amazing
Easy and works.🎉
But fly like a kite nice
Wow I also make it and fly tu much at sky brilliant
Good
Super duper nice 👍

+ADGamer 02 you would have difficulty flying it you need stronger winds
Can i use newspapers
You could try
Noo

I remembered my childhood. Here we call parrot. Congratulations.
My kite is not flying
