I am working on a flying saucer for my 4 yr old sons costume this year and I am concerned about the weight of the overall unit may make the whole experience a drag (pun intended)
Right now I have 2 sturdy plastic "Saucer" sleds that I was planning on fastening together, cutting the "body hole" and making suspenders (plus paint, battery packs etc..). My son is not a broad shouldered swiss farm boy so hours of wearing this is looking iffy.
Ok, heres the question, what would be a good material/process for creating my saucer that would be lighter weight yet strong enough to withstand the bumps and shifts of three halloween parties?
