i had one of those cheap clamp holder with a magnifying glass in the middle, but the clips would always fall off and would not position well.
My wife purchased some of this Flexible tie wrap from a discount store and I realized I can make a cool little clamp from this. The Flexible tie wrap at the home improvement store is stronger and I would use that next time.

You can read how I made it below.
I start with a few alligator clips (Amazon) and some Flexible tie wrap (Amazon).
I start by unwrapping a piece the length I want and cut it.
I use my needle nose pliers to expand the circle on the back of the alligator clips so I can push the Flexible cord into there.
The Flexible cord pushes right in.
I then use my pliers to crimp the alligator clip into place.
Its a nice clean look, and will not slip or spin.
I made a few at different lengths.
This is just an example but they can attach to other clamps and mounts to hold up the circuit or components to solder.
