This is a simple kite tutorial, is something I learned in how to make in second grade. I recently made one for my little teenage brother and he is amazed that it was made from straws and plastic wrap.

well it is my first tutorial. Sorry if it isn't that great.

I made one of these for my Financial Math class final in my senior year. It was WAY bigger though. I thought the smaller one my brother brought home two days later was adorable!
