I like to call them string spinners myself. Here is one I did for a class. One word of advice, make sure you cut your string extra long, it makes it easier to tie. Oh, and most don't do it the way I did, but I like to wrap the string around the eyelets before they are flattened. That way you can wind up the center object and when the person opens the card it will spin. If you just use glue dots or another adhesive to hold the string in place, the receiver can spin the object on their own, but it will not have quite the same effect. I guess thats why others call them suspension cards, because the piece is just ment to suspend in air, while mine actually spins when they open the card.
