How do you make a candle kite?

Question

Anyone know a site or can give me directions on how to make a candle kite. Like what kinda paper to use ect.

Answer 1

If you mean a Hot air balloon type of kites  we used to make them with 2 drinking straws tied together in the shape of a cross  and birthday candles stuck on with tape. The balloon was a dry cleaning bag. We taped it to the 4 ends of the drinking straws so that the hot air from the candles would rise into the bag.  We would inflate the bag carefully so it would not get burned and  it would go up gently. We never attached a string but it wouldn't hurt to have a light thread attached to the straws. Its quite spectacular at night. we only used 4 little candles and when they were burned out the balloon would drift back to earth.

Answer 2

Do you mean those hot air balloon thingies with candles inside them to make them float in the air?  Here's a super tutorial that my Grandmonster and I tried just a few days ago.  It was actually pretty awesome... I had my doubts, but it did work.
