Making the parachute

1. Put some sellotape over each corner of the tissue paper. This will prevent it
from tearing when the string is placed through it
2. Make a small hole in each corner that you can thread the string through. Once
threaded, tie the string so that it will stay tied to the tissue paper. Do this for all
four corners.
3. Take the end of each piece of string and tie a small knot so that they stay together.
4. mould your plasticine around the small knot and make sure that it is in place firmly.
5. Test your parachute!
