Suggested materials

• Smooth string, thread, or dental floss about 4 foot long
• A small container like a paper cup or small box
• Pencils, straws, or wooden skewers
• Paper clips, ornament hooks, ribbon
• Small ball or something to place in your carrier
• Tape
• Scissors or hole punch

Instructions

• Attach one end of your string to something stable like a railing, chair, window, or wall. Attach the other end of the string at least two feet lower to another stable location across the room.
• Use your small container and pencil to create a carrier big enough to hold an action figure or other object.
• Use your paper clip to hang the carrier, with your object inside, to the higher side of the sting. Let go and watch your carrier glide!
• Make changes to your design if it does not work and try again. Try a different type of string or add pennies to make your carrier heavier.
