Parachute
 

 
 
Materials Needed
Cotton Square - equal measurements all the way around - about the size of a handkerchief
Cotton thread
Empty sewing thread spool
Directions
  1. Attach 8 lengths of thread about half a meter long to each corner and middle of material square. (Please see illustration below)
  2. Put the other ends of thread through the center of the thread spool.
  3. Holding it in the center of the material, knot these ends around a match stick or similar item, so that they cannot slip back through the hole.
  4. Now bunch it lightly in your hand and throw. It will gently parachute to the ground.
