need ideas

[TwistedToad]

I have an old parachute minus the cords. I have wondering what all I could make out of it. Any helpful suggestions?:-?

Thanks

I had one put up on the ceiling of my bedroom in my younger days

Since it's not waterproof, making a tarp or tent is out. It might be possible to make a hammock or gear bags, but that's about it.

This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

AIRPLANE! that guy was probably the most underrated funny person in the history of movies

I used a section for a bottom bed sheet in Viet Nam. I was one of the fortunate ones who slept indoors on a bed pretty much every night

Donate it to your local elementary PE department. I use a "real" parachute without all the cords in my PE class. Kids love it!

Some instructors at a jump school near me cut them up and make windbreakers. But that seems pointless since it wouldn't be waterproof.
CherryPie had the idea. You should see the excitement and fun they can bring to a group of kids. They would probably have more fun with it than you.
I had two parachutes a few years back and did the same thing after running out of ideas.

I think I will do just that! I have an elementary school right in front of my house. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Thanks a lot!!
