Make: Volume 93

PROJECTS: DIY Tyvek Kite

winder handle in the shape of Makey, the robot

mascot of Maker Faire.

For the sail, you can also use these materials:

• Tyvek: Priority Mail, FedEx, or UPS envelopes

work well. You may need to tape them together

to create a large enough sheet. Avoid Tyvek

HomeWrap — it’s too heavy.

• 3mil polyethylene film: You can use trash

bags or reusable grocery bags (the plain back

side works best). You’ll need to join two pieces

together for the full sail.

materials, visit the resources page.
