- Cut your paper into a square.
- Punch a hole in each corner of the square.
- Tie a piece of string to each corner.
- Tie the free ends of the strings to your washer or other weight.
- Test your parachute! Stand up tall and let it drop.
How do you make a parachute out of a plastic bag at home?
Make a small hole on four corners of the circle and tie a piece of string to each hole. Tie the other ends of the strings to a small weight. Be sure the strings aren't tangled! Drop your parachute from mid-air and watch it float to the ground!
