Please note that I used a slightly less size for this as I do not have A4 size.
Tell me what you think.

Thanks! Have you tried? It's quite tricky to get the folds to turn the spring but it's worth it!

I've tried to make this model twice, to no avail. I think I should try again sometime soon.

it's quite hard to get the hang of, i think. this one took quite a while but i think once you get it it's not too bad. which bit do you get stuck on? this is quite a good youtube video: [link]

I usually get the first ring done, but I can never get the second one to cooperate.

yeah that's a problem i had. i think i just did the second layer how i did the first layer/ring (like folding the diagonals and straight lines over each other like i was making the first layer) and twisting the top layer at the same time, if you get me (sorry, i'm just not articulate at all

Well, I finally made it. It looks a little off, but not too bad. There's only one bad thing: This model is just amusing enough to distract me from all the work I've got to do, lol.
