Step 2Make the individual kites.
Use your template to cut out at least twenty hearts from your chosen material.
If the material is not decorative, now is the time to decorate them with paints or marker pens. Let them dry.
(A thought occurs to me: you may want to add a message to the arch, one letter per kite. This is a Valentine Instructable, so make it romantic.)
Stick two bamboo skewers to the back of the sail, from the lower point of the heart to the top of each upper curve (the skewers will make a narrow 'V'). Tape is the easiest way to do it, but PVA glue will stick bamboo to paper just as well. If you use PVA, allow drying time again.
Staple the tail to the kite, at the point of the heart. If you are using very light tails (say, strips of plastic bag or "STOP POLICE" tape), then you may want to attach two or three per kite.
Stack your kites carefully, ready for the next stage.
