Cardboard Frisbee

Step 4 Weight a minute.

Frisbees fly more stably when there is more weight near the edge of the disc (yes, I know this isn't a disc, but it's easier than continually referring to the regular heptagon).

Cut out the seven rectangles from the template, score the dotted lines and then zig-zag fold them up and glue them into small blocks, which you then glue under the edges of the frisbee,

If you are using a glue that needs time to set, clothes pegs make good mini-clamps.

You will see from the photos that I used pairs of small neodymium magnets to clamp things in place while the glue dried. Do not do this! I spent more time than is probably sane getting the blasted things in the right place, unsticking them from their neighbours, my tools, my watch... Seriously, use pegs.

Instead of gluing together the "blocks" I duct taped them together, and then onto the Frisbee, and it still works fine.

Sounds good - that's even more weight at the edges. Does it look good, though?

No, it doesn't look as good, also the tape sticks up a bit, so its less aerodynamic, so I would glue it instead, but I was to lazy.
