Mini clothespins as a cheap alternative to clamps

A while back, I was having my car’s oil changed at Wal-Mart and was wandering around the store, killing time. In the arts and crafts area, I saw the neatest thing: miniature wooden clothespins, about 1" long. When I tested one, I discovered that they had a surprising amount of spring tension. Not only that, but a 50-count bag was $1.97! We are all modelers, so I don’t need to explain the possibilities these things have. Go on, indulge yourself and spend a couple of bucks!
