Apollo wanted to see the world from a different perspective… position himself above all the daily stresses and troubles. And thus, the parachute project is born.

Apollo anxiously awaits parachute construction.

Gather materials. A trash bag, scissors, tape and string is all we need.

Cut out a circle from a trash bag. I use the side and cut a half circle. Trying to make a full circle usually results in the most deformed looking anything you will ever create.

Add reinforcement tape around the edges to give a strong place to tie the cord.

Grab a small part of the center of parachute to snip off. This should leave a nice little hole for air to pass through and help open the chute.

Parachute looking good.

Poke holes in your tape reinforcements.

Cord through hole and tie.

Apollos thorough safety check.

Completed parachute.

Godammit 40 feet in the fucking air.
