Butterfly hair clips are the perfect little claws to help you hold tiny items in place while you wait for glue to dry

Clip out the inside pins from small butterfly hair clips to create small claws to help you hold tiny objects in place while you wait for glue to dry

I also claw the objects just the way I need them and then glue.

Slip twigs or wire in between the claws to be held upright
I use these bright glittered pink claws so that they really stand out and I wont accidentally forget one in the design. I also have a few brown, green and sap green claws for designs where I want to leave the claws as support. These butterfly claws are also great to support creeping plants and orchid flower spikes
