To add a little strength, bend the edges of the sail over the skeleton before taping them together. End your craft with a tail. A tail or, a long strip of paper, or plastic, adds drag to your kite and gives it stability.

5. Color the entire back of the picture with a pencil while it is still in place on the shirt. You may want to pin the picture to the shirt so it doesn't move around while you are coloring.
