Well, having seen what the inside of those curtain cord thingies look like
(after being stretched well beyond their intended stretchiness), it is a
flat metal coil encased in plastic. I hadn't thought of shock cord (which is
basically a small bungee, correct?) or gears/brake cables (which aren't all
that stretchy), but I'm sure they could work...

Any ideas how to replicate the "invisible" attachment for the loop that gets
attached the body? It basically just a screw with a eye at one end (a
miniature verion of what you'd hang a plant from on a deck post), and it
screws perfectly into the metal coil (inside the black plastic sheathing).
If using a different type of cable, I guess I could just loop it back on
itself and crimp it together, but that's not as aesthetically pleasing
(read: seamless).
