Plastic Tablecover Parachutes
Turn dollar-store table covers into super simple parachutes that are easy to make, and impressively effective, so you have an endless supply of canopies, for all your arial activities. ---------------- Subscribe to the Sonic Dad channel! bit.ly/SonicDadChannel

Project Inspired By:
My good friend Ritchie Kinmont from www.sonicdad.com, and a design collaboration we did together for the Randomizer Rocket project (bit.ly/IBRandomizerBlastPad)
Project History & More Info:
If you make these parachutes, you'll be able to use them with Rockets, Sky Balls, or even action figure toys as well.
I was amazed to see that 8 parachutes could be made from 1 dollar-store table cover, effectively making them less than $0.15 each.
My good friend Ritchie Kinmont has a business, as well as a KZread channel, called Sonic Dad ( / sonicdaddotcom ) and has some really great projects.
We collaborated in the past, on the Micro X-bow video (bit.ly/MicroXBow), and when it came time for me to design a rocket for my sugar motors, I went back to Ritchie so we could put our heads together and see what we could come up with.
We made a really awesome rocket, he called the "Randomizer", and Ritchie used one of the parachutes he made in a previous project (bit.ly/IBSonicParachute), as the parachute for the rocket, and it was perfect!
I made a few small modifications to the parachute design, and developed it into a project video for the rocket building series, with approval from Ritchie.
These parachutes can serve multiple purposes, from rockets, to sky balls, to action figures, and more.
I found some techniques to manufacture the parachutes so they can be produced quite quickly, and they typically take me about 5 minutes each, once I get in the groove.
For these parachutes I used scotch-tape, like Ritchie did in his project, however after playing with them extensively, this seems to be the most common point of failure. In the future I'll probably try using colored electrical tape, a bit of duck-tape, or another flexible rubber tape with more adhesion for better durability.
Either way, they are super easy to fix if they come apart. All you have to do is tape them back together! :)
Have fun!

Anybody else rewatching Grant's videos in remembrance?
atach to my drone
How does the parachute activate on rockets?
Hissssssssssasss reptilian brotherhood where are you?
how did you manage to get the parachutes to launch mid air in the rocket? please answer asap.
Still missing you buddy.
Rest In Peace Member
Nice 👍☺️🙂.
Is Scotch tape really strong enough for these parachutes? That's rather surprising.
Ok lemme make a life sized version of this
Hello world. As promised, here is the tutorial on how to make the table-cover parachutes I got for free from the Sonic Dad website. You can have it as well (
I miss this guy... rest in peace
Pro tip : if you have no table cloth cut a garbage bag in half it is slightly smaller but will work with the randomizer rocket

You were always the best at doing things like this rest in peace
I made this parachute today for my homemade rocket. It looks great, and seems to work well on the ground! Thanks for the great video
Awesome tutorial Grant! I really like your folding and cutting technique - much faster than cutting out each corner of the canopy. Well done! -Ritchie
I just made an 8.5 inch round parachute for a small model rocket that I built with a kit. It came with a streamer but I wanted a parachute. I can't wait to try it out.
Hi Grant,
My parachute worked way to well. The wind took it like 1/2 mile away from the launch site and me and my friends looked for it for like 20 muintes. But it was worth it because the parachute worked.
