2 inch Sotich Star kite, cocktail napkin.
I wanted to try running these stripes horizontally.
What do you think?

As I mentioned in a previous post, this new print ( that I was really hoping to utilize heavily) presents some unexpected layout challenges.
This one works pretty easily though.

1.25 inch freehand Shield kite, cocktail napkin.
What do you do when your materials present a challenge? Meet the challenge of course.
I made this Shield kite freehand, to allow the different sized stripes of the print to appear as color blocks on the sail.
It’s pretty basic, but I’m happy with this little flier.

2.5 inch freehand Star kite, cocktail napkin.
The last time that I stopped by the Dollar Tree, I splurged and picked up two packages of napkins. I was so excited about the pink and zebra striped print, I didn’t even mention the print I found in the display of Memorial Day supplies.
Unfortunately the print won’t be as fun as I first hoped, most of the stars aren’t square with the stripes, and the stripes don’t have consistent widths. Miniature kites always provide a challenge, and sometimes more than one.
Here is the first of the kites from the print. Despite being a Star kite, it is actually a larger, freehand shape, to allow for a border around the Henna style blue star from the print.

3 inch 3-stick kite, striped cocktail napkin.
I started this one on my last day off, but got distracted while the sail was drying (tearing the edges involves getting the sail wet).
I was pleased how well it flew, when I finally put tails and a line on it.

Another classic kite, with a slightly different perspective.

Still having fun with the zebra stripes, but I decided to change up the angle.

2 inch Sotich Star kite, striped cocktail napkin.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve been unable to keep up with daily posts.
However, I have still been making a kite every day in my recognition of National Kite Month. Now that I have a day off, it’s time to catch up with my posting.
This print just keeps on giving.
Here is a little zebra striped star.

I’ve had so much fun with this print so far, that I decided it was time for a star.

I’m much happier with this kite than the previous one.
The stripe along the spine is a great separation for the two patterns.
