What you need to make a Parachute:
- Thick thread or wool
- Paper napkin or felt cloth
- Small piece of drift wood or bobbin
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Scissors
Step 1
Cut 4 x 45cm pieces of thread and 1 x 15cm piece of thread. Use your measuring tape or ruler to make sure you have cut your thread the right length.
Step 2
Tie one end of each thread to a corner of your napkin or felt cloth. I used a piece of felt cloth that is 20cm x 20cm.
Step 3
Tie the four loose ends together and tie the 15cm piece of thread to the point where they meet.
Step 4
Tie the bottom end of the thread around your piece of driftwood. You can also use a cork or a plastic spool.
Step 5
This is what your parachute should look like. Holding the parachute by the top centre, throw it upward into the air and watch it float down.
