The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.

It's called a "Riser".
the parachute is made from long-lasting strong string series of cord and straps but the actual parachute (top part) is made from Teflon or something similar item used in bullet proof vest
USE A PASTIC BAG and string
To open a parachute, you typically need to pull the parachute deployment handle or ripcord located on the parachute harness. This releases the parachute from its container and allows it to inflate. It's important to follow proper training and procedures to ensure a safe deployment.
As a kid we use to make parachute out of handkerchiefs. Just tie a string to the four corners of the handkerchief, tangle a action-figure in the string and throw him high. It works quite well.

Stand on something tall, and toss the man into the air anyway you want
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
The simplest way to make a parachute for a small toy is to take a handkerchief and some string. Cut the string into five equal lengths, and tie four of them to the corners of the handkerchief, being careful to keep the tails equal in length. Then tie the four ends evenly spaced along the fifth string. Tie the fifth string round the toy, making sure the four strings tied to it are still equally spaced. That will give you a rudimentary parachute.
