What you do
First you cut a straw into 8 equal parts so it can go on your parachute Then you sellotape the end.

Next grab a plastic bag, cut off the handles and the bottom.

After that cut a square shape, Then fold the square in half,then in a quarter,then an eight,and then a sixteenth.

Next cut of the excess plastic.
