The prototype of modern parachute was first developed by the Great Florentine Master Leonardo da Vinci in the distant 1483. Since then, not one century has passed, and today the parachute has become an integral part of the life of people associated with flights. Make a parachute at home can be in several ways. Of course, with their help, it is safe to pull on Earth, even a very easy person will not work, but they will deliver a lot of joy from the launch of plastic soldiers and other toys.

For the manufacture of a miniature parachute will be required:
polyethylene package or dense paper napkin;
pencil or marker;
pVA glue;
clip;
shilo or thick needle;
scissors;
ruler;
braid or durable thread.

The easiest way to make a parachute is to make it from a paper napkin. To do this, secure the thread on each of the four corners of the paper sheet, while the other ends are connected to each other. During fixing the threads do not do in paper holes, otherwise it can break. It is best to glue them with glue or collecting paper in the harmonica - to tape around. At the node, attach a small piece of cardboard or a small toy. Fold the paper diagonally 2 times, connecting the folding corners with the folding line. Now the parachute can be launched - throw it up, descending down - the paper will unfold, and the desired effect will be achieved.

To make a parachute from the package, drew the octagon on it with the sides of 10-15 centimeters or the circle of the same diameter. Using scissors, carefully cut the resulting figure. With the help of some acute subject, for example, sewed, in each of the eight corners, do small holes, retreating the edge of the figure of 1.5-2 centimeters. If you do a round parachute - place 8 or 10 threads at the same distance from each other. In the center of the figure, cut a round or square hole with the sides (diameter) of 1.5 centimeters, which will stabilize the entire design during the flight. In the holes done around the perimeter, insert the slices of the thread and tight them tight them to polyethylene. The free ends of all threads are connected among themselves, so that the length of each of them from the node to the parachute was the same. For the convenience of attaching toys to the node, you can attach a conventional clip, which will perform the hook function. Posted by a toy on an improvised trailer device, you can proceed to the trial launch.

Without much difficulty, you can make and parachute in the form of an umbrella. To do this, take a plastic wand, with a diameter of 6-7 millimeters and about 35 centimeters long. Mark on it, located in 10 centimeters from one of its vertices, and secure the paper ring on it. Make one more cuckle and put it on a stick, but it should move freely on it. The next step is the manufacture of the dome of the parachute. It is best to make it from a dense paper napkin or thin fabric. With a needle or glue, attach the dome center to the chopstick. Take 8-10 pieces of thread and connect the dome and the second ring, distributing them evenly throughout the perimeter. Fix them best with the help of PVA glue. After it dries, throw up the finished parachute up - taking off, it will close, and when it starts to go down - it will turn off, thereby ensuring a slow down drop. If your design is durable, you can run a toy to a large height with a bow or slingshot.
Having made one or more parachutes, you will not only be able to steal your child, but also perfectly entertained yourself, launching a wide variety of items.
