My light weight disk is coming along great! I used my deluxe disk as a base, pretty much.
What you need:
Large sheet of craft foam. 1.50-2.00
Hodge poge(optional) around 6.00
Craft paint (optional) 2.00
Plasti Dip 6.00
Card board 0.00
Reflective tape 2.50 (at wal-mart)
Glue (I used e-6000) 6.00-12.00(mattering where you get it.)
Pie tins (already had)
Steamer (already had)
clothing pins(already had)

I followed the basic outline of my disk. Cut it out of the foam sheet and gently bend it at first. Then I took a pie tin. Place it in between 2 pie tins and pressed down for a few minutes. Then I placed it under a heavy box for almost a full day.
After that I took the top pie tin off and applied steam to the foam. Steam makes it SUPER soft and easy to bend.
I steamed for about 10 minutes max. Then placed the top pie tin on it again. Pressed down for a minute, then apply clothing pins on the edges.
Then I put it in the freezer for a minute. After that I took it out and hodge pog it(optional) to give it some extra strength. Waited till try and placed back in pie tins. Only issue I had with this is that hodge pog wants to stick to EVERYTHING! It stuck to the table(for some reason) and dulled away the black foam.
Put the cardboard inside the foam, glue, and press down for 60 seconds.
Here is where I painted the disk with craft paint. It made it stronger and returned the black color.
I still have to plasti dip it. But I know it will give it more strength once I do.
Note: There are 2 parts. This is the back park of the disk. So, pretty much do everything I listed twice. Once done, glue the two parts together and apply tape.
