Chapter 3 (Cassiopeia)


Experienced reinforcements
Since I have experienced the two vertical sticks have a tendency to go through the DACRON this reinforcements will, at leased for a whiled, prevent it from making to many holes. Take two pieces of thick DACRON or four pieces of thin DACRON so they match the picture below. This is only necessary on the back of the pocket ("tunnel"). Glue on the pieces.
I believe that the small piece of DACRON on the picture has been glued on the inside of the pocket ("tunnel") before it was folded. The piece of DACRON placed to the side is for the other side of the kite.


Complete the pocket (tunnel)
Fold down the pocket so it fits and sow twice. Make sure to make enough space between the stitches to fit a rivet. It is allowed to cheat and take a look at the pictures to come.
Now make the holes for the rivets and fasten them as shown in the next picturs. When you are done, you will have 10 holes including rivets.


"Zigzag stopper"
Cut two pieces of fabric, one for each wing tip (4 x 3 cm). Take each side and fold them towards the middle then fold down the middle. The result of this should give two pieces of fabric with the measures 4 x 0,75 cm "zigzag stoppers". Again fold the "stoppers" and sow them on to the wingtips so they follow edges of the wingtips.


The rubber band settings
Now take a "hold-puncher", 6 pieces of rubber band (12 cm), 6 pieces of rubber-hose (2 cm), 6 key rings (ca. 12 mm). Make a hold through the rubber-hoses close to one end. Attach the key rings through both holes. Then attach the rubber bands as shown in the picture below.
