Easter/ Spring "Thing" Challange

A challenge was mad on the Dollshouse Forum to build/make a Spring "thing", using an unusual container, rather than a house.

I have started work on my Spring thing, and have so far used some strange household Items, which include:
*) Scourers
*) Cat Food Tray
*) Fimo
*) Scatter
*) Tongue Depressors
*) String
*) Cardboard
*) Wire

To name but a few.

Any ideas yet?
If you have click here and have a guess!

I will post photos after the 10th April 2009
