Let's make it.

01

measure and cut your cardboard, using this guide.

supply tip: find assortments of springs online. get a set so you always have the right size. get inspired and work them into other projects too!

02

glue the top edge in place first. the corrugation allows it to curve smoothly.

03

glue the side edges and bottom edge in place to fit.

04

add the small spacers at the bottom, and fill each space with colorful paper.

05

place small spools to be the bumpers.

06

inset the spring mechanism and give it a go!

TA-DA!
