How to make firki at home with cardboard & PVC pipe || Makar Sankranti special project | DIY Project

Creating a firki (kite spool) at home with cardboard and PVC pipe for Makar Sankranti can be a great DIY project. Here's a simple guide to help you make one:

Materials Needed:

Cardboard
PVC pipe (about 1-2 feet in length, depending on your preference)
PVC end cap
Wooden dowel or stick
String
Craft knife or scissors
Glue or adhesive
Sandpaper
Paints (optional)
Steps:

Cut the Cardboard:

Cut a piece of cardboard into a rectangular shape. The size depends on how large you want your firki to be.
Prepare the Spool Base:
Cut two identical circles from the cardboard. These will be the top and bottom of your spool. Cut a narrow rectangular strip for the sides of the spool.
Attach the Sides:
Glue the rectangular strip around the edge of one of the circular pieces. This will be the spool's main body. Leave one side open to insert the PVC pipe.
Insert PVC Pipe:
Slide the PVC pipe through the open side of the spool, and secure it with glue. This will serve as the handle for winding the string.
Attach the Second Circular Piece:
Glue the second circular piece on top of the spool, enclosing the PVC pipe. This creates the top of the spool.
Sand and Smooth:
Sand the edges of the cardboard to smooth out any rough surfaces. This will make it more comfortable to handle.
Decorate (Optional):
If you like, you can paint and decorate your firki using colors and patterns of your choice. Let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Attach String:
Tie one end of the string securely to the top of the PVC pipe. Wind the rest of the string around the spool.
Attach Wooden Dowel:
Attach a wooden dowel or stick to the PVC pipe. This will serve as the handle for holding and winding the firki.
Your homemade firki is now ready for flying kites during Makar Sankranti! Enjoy the festivities and the thrill of lying kites with your DIY spool.
