How To Turn An Umbrella Into A Kite
Today’s feature is from HomeOfTheSampler.com with a cool tutorial - September How-To from Rose Travale: How to Turn an Umbrella into a Kite
You take apart the umbrella by removing the wires then reuse the nylon umbrella fabric and wires to make a kite. Even the umbrella handle is utilized!
Supplies needed are very basic: Pliers, Scissors, Permanent Marker, Sewing Machine, Kite String and the umbrella. Basic sewing is involved.
Very cool!

Was wondering how successful Rose was flying this kite? My hobby is kite flying and typically one needs to put a slight bow in small cross stick, wire in this case to balance the kite, and then adjust the bridle connection either up or down according to wind conditins. Of course if there is a very strong wind, one just has to add more tail for stabilization. Very interesting project!
