The Paper Clip Spinner is perhaps the simplest spinner to make. All you need is a plastic coated paper clip. Open up a clip and then shape it in the form of a top. It will have a circular heart-shaped girth with the two ends in the center. One end will be vertically up and will become the stem to hold the twirl the top. The other one will be vertically down and will make the pivot. 
Hold the stem and spin top and it will keep whirling on the table for a very long time. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
