Recently I have been developing B/W film. It was thirteen dollars to order these clips online. So I decided to make my own. These are to prevent the negatives from curling and having water marks, they are for use after washing with wetting agent.
Materials

Paper clips or wire.
Binder clip.
A weight, I used a roll of electrical tape.
Wire cutters and scissors.
Film that needs drying.

I cut and round the corners at the end of the film to make loading onto the reel easier. Hook on both ends attach weight and clip. Hang, I would suggest hanging it in the shower cause it is almost dust-free. Thanks for viewing and vote for one of my instructables in the analog photography challenge. I will try to publish a whole instructable on developing film from start to finish.
