Australian Flag Parachute

  After pulling apart an Australian Flag, I sowed around the edge for streangth and to stop freying. Then I sowed 8 cotton strings to it then made sure the outer strings were further away then the inner strings to keep the parachute as rectangular as possible.
    No hole was needed for a stable decent because the flag was small and porous, containing lots of small holes. It worked out quite well but was a bit difficult to see from 100 or so metres below it.
