The illustration of the proportion and size of the Shayan kite frame is as follows:

1. Bamboo strips cannot be used just as they are, they need to be polished with a paper knife or sandpaper. The smaller the kite is made, the thinner the bamboo strips must be, and vice versa, otherwise the kite frame will be broken when it encounters a slightly stronger wind.

2. Bending the kite frame is a delicate job. Bending the bamboo and then baking it on the fire will finalize its shape. However, it is best to wet the bamboo strips with water before baking to prevent Burnt and burnt.

3. After the bamboo strips are baked, use cotton thread to tie the frame of the kite as shown in the big picture on the right, and cut off the excess thread. The cotton thread used to tie the frame can be thinner, but the toughness must be good.

4. When tying the frame, try to make the left and right sides of the frame symmetrical so that the kite will be balanced.

5. When pasting paper, you can let the paper on the edge of the skeleton wrap around the skeleton, which will make it stick more firmly.

6. After the glue has dried on the pasted kite, mix the gouache paint with a brush and draw patterns on it according to your preference. Be careful not to put too much water in the brush, or you may tear the paper.
