Our sister publication Mother Earth News has an online rundown of a fun little springtime DIY project: making kites from recycled materials.
You can choose from designs that use paper bags or newspaper. Or you can go with non-recycled (but still inexpensive) fare such as paper, foam balls, and feathers. For the expert kite-flyer and -maker, there’s some guidance on DIY sport and stunt kites, too.
