Jesse Dill writes about the Garbasail kite on Build/Make/Craft/Bake:

I first found out about Garbasails when they were featured as Urban Dictionary’s word of the day. A few curious clicks later, I was completely hooked on the idea. It’s a simple formula: trash bags + duct tape + a lot of rope = one very large, very impressive-looking kite. My friend Harish and I decided to make it happen, and we hit the hardware store.
