Saw some laptop stands here, and figured I'd try my own.
I owe most of my idea to Chris99
At the office store and hardware store I picked up just one item each, for a grand total of $6.85...including tax. No special equipment or technical skill needed.

All you need for this project:
1. Metal/Mesh Document Tray - easily found at an office store. Many different kinds are available....I prefer Metal wire as (in my opinion) it seem sturdier than mesh. The (finer) mesh would bend quite a bit upon pressure. Size of the tray also depends on the laptop you plan to use. Each of the ones I saw were ample in height...but varied in Length and Width from 6" x 9" to Letter size to Legal Size.
2. Vinyl Foam Backed weather strip - {OPTIONAL} - found at almost any hardware store. It is a thin foam strip with adhesive on it. I only use this to put on the edges/feet of the document holder for two simple reasons. I didn't want to wire edges to scratch the desk or rip the bedsheet...and the Foam keeps the document tray in place.
3. Scissors.
That's all.
