Cut an 83cm length of string and thread it through the curtain ring. Make sure that the ring is in the middle of the piece of string and attach the ends of the string to each side of the kite. This crossed string structure is called the 'bridle', and it controls the kite a bit like a bridle is used to control a horse when you are riding it.

Now make the tail for the kite. First cut a piece of string 4.5m long. Then cut out 25 rectangles from the tissue paper. Each rectangle should be 20cm by 5cm. Can you work out a way to cut these rectangles out quickly?
