To keep small painting and decoupage projects evenly coated and free of smudges, use a medium-sized binder clip as a mini clamp and easel!

The binder clip gives you a firm handle to grasp while doing detail work. Then, when you’re finished, it converts into an easel for easy drying.

Bonus tip: If you’re working with delicate materials or need a softer grip, you can always use a small piece of felt as protective padding.

Not too bad for a thirty cent office supply, eh?
