Kites are typically made from lightweight materials that allow them to fly easily in the wind. Common fabrics include nylon and polyester, which are durable and resistant to tearing. The frame of a kite is often constructed from materials like bamboo, fiberglass, or carbon fiber, providing strength while keeping the overall weight low. In addition to fabric and frame materials, kites may use string made from nylon or other synthetic fibers for stability and control. Some kites also incorporate plastic or mylar for added visual appeal, as these materials can be printed with vibrant colors and designs.
