plastic bag paratroopers
- June 15th, 2009
When my young friend started pretending his Star Wars toys were parachuting in the other room, I instantly remembered those cheapo plastic parachute toys I used to get from the gum ball machine as a child. They were so much fun! So I dug through the cabinets and constructed this quickie craft…
The steps are outlined below. Click to see a larger, more detailed image:
-
- Gather: plastic bag, pipe cleaners, string, tape, scissors, hole puncher.
-
- Cut bag into small square.
-
- Cut 2 pieces of string slightly larger than the square.
-
- Tape corners then punch holes.
-
- Tie string through holes then twist pipe cleaner around center of strings.
-
- Twist on, from back to front, loop around arms..
-
- .. then fasten with a twist in the back.
-
- Play!
-
- Weeeeeee!
