...objects..have any ideas?

[katieself8]

maybe use a football or tennis ball as a base, I would stick pins in it but since you can't use sharp objects I don't know.

[Look, Words!]

Cheap modeling clay might also help, for a heavy-ish base to stick your work on or to make the outside of the virus since pipe cleaners might not be an option (as you mentioned sharp). Elmers glue or rubber cement for the above suggestion of attaching colored and shaped beads and/or odds n'ends, perhaps a small bottle or two of primary color acrylic to paint it with so your work stands out visually.
