Mary Poppins Returns Craft Kite DIY

Returning to Cherry Tree Lane, it’s like revisiting an old friend. And I love how the famous Banks kite made a heroic return to the big screen in Mary Poppins Returns. So of course, I had to bust out the felt for this Mary Poppins Returns Craft Kite DIY! Just a few crafty supplies and you’re on your way to flying a kite as your family watches Mary Poppins Returns at home!

What You Will Need:

• This Kite Template
• Green Felt
• 1/4 Inch Thick Yellow Ribbon
• (2) Craft Sticks (or 2 toothpicks)
• Bakers Twine
• Newspaper
• Scissors
• Glue

Directions:

1. Print and cut out the kite template. Trace around your green felt and cut out your kite.
2. Using glue and yellow ribbon, outline your kite.
3. Cut off excess ribbon.
4. Cut out small strips from your newspaper and glue onto the front of your kite.
5. Turn kite over. Cross your two craft sticks and use the baker’s twine to hold together. Cut off excess twine. Glue onto the back of your kite.
6. It’s not a kite without a proper tail! And while I had no ‘Votes for Women’ sashes lying around, I did use the bakers twine and yellow ribbon to make an adorable kite tail. Cut and glue a long strip of ribbon onto the back of the kite. Cut and tie ribbon in small strips to complete your kite.
