Mylar parachute and streamer?

Hi all, newb here, thanks for all the great info.

I recently broke out a decade old Estes Alpha-III starter kit I bought on closeout last winter and now I've been bitten by the rocket bug. Bad.

I need help spotting my rockets and found some good information here on mylar chutes and streamers. I have an Estes Patriot that should be ready for launch by the weekend, and I'd like to not lose it. It seems like it's probably a bit heavy for a streamer only. Is there any way I can attach both a parachute for soft landing and a long streamer for visibility? Or is that going to just end up being a tangled mess?

Wasn't sure if there was a method to do this.

Thanks!
