Paper bags are an excellent material for making DIY kites. Not only are they easy to find and inexpensive, but they are also lightweight and strong. Paper bags come in a variety of sizes and colors, allowing you to create a unique kite for your family.

When making a kite from paper bags, you can use the handles to attach the kite’s frame and the paper itself to create the sail. You can also use the paper bag to make the tail. You can use markers, crayons, or paint to decorate the kite and make it stand out.

The best part about making a kite from paper bags is that it is a fun and creative activity for the whole family. Kids can help with the design and construction of the kite, and the whole process can be completed in less than half an hour.
