must all be the same length and should be equally tight so the
kite stays balanced. Cut any extra paper off around the edges.

Day4 Making a Buffalo Kite 4 Hours
1. Cutting the bamboo, sections of bamboo stick are
used as the cener frame and when cut they are smoothed on
t
the surface and pointed at both ends. The bamboo sticks are
cut according to the strength of the wind. To fly a kite in strong
winds the sticks on the wings should be thick but for light winds,
the wings could be thinner.

The bamboo should be crossed and tied in the middle
to prevent the upper and lower wings from moving. The end
of the sticks should be slightly cut to insert them inside each
other then tying them a second time to strengthen the kite.

2. The cross stick should be sharpened into a diamond
shape with sticks the same size as for the tail and wings.
3. The Kadohk string is tied from the center of both
wings down to the tail. The strings should be the same length,

so when the paper is glued on the tail will not interfer
with the top.
4. To connect strings to the wings, tie a string from the

left to the right wing making it a straight stand. The left and
right wing should be the same size so the kite does not just look
beautiful but so the wind can circulate well and help the kite glide.
5. To make the buffalo head the bamboo sticks must be

thinly sliced, when the stick are ready tie them onto the kite
frame making it look like a buffalo bead.
6. To make the buffalo horns use long bamboo sticks
with sharpened ends and tie them onto the head piece of the

buffalo. Pull both of the sides up to the wings ends making
it look like buffalo horns.
7. For making the buffalo head the bamboo sticks should
be sliced thin so it is easier to form an oval shape similar to

the buffalo ear, then it should be placed onto the lower part
of the head.
