Hi we try many different measurements and they don't seem to work. Any suggestions?

I've found that the strings should be about 3/2 the diameter of the parachute, but experimentation will be necessary.

Hi I have tried many different thicknesses but they either break very easily or their too heavy. I usually use flimsy plastic trash bags. Any sugestions??

For the parachute material I would suggest one of those table cloths that people use at parties, it''s a pretty good weight and all that. Or drop cloth, you can get them at home depot and some other stores.

A big clear trash bag works well too. The school ones tend to be cheap/light so we use those and have successful results.

Just making sure, the trashbags you are using are the clear kinds you find at school, right?

I think clear ones are a bit lighter but either should work.
