Tony's comment about micro clips reminded me how useful they can be. The ones I use are the smallest version that Radio Shack sells. Instead of the serrated "alligator clip" jaws, these have flat, smooth jaws. I use them to hold materials when tying numerous flies. They're especially good to hold tailing materials like fibetts or hackle fibers. It's much quicker to cut 30 tails at the same time and hold each in a separate clip.
Since the jaws are flat, I found it helpful to glue a small piece of craft foam to one of the jaws. This gives a much more secure grip to the clip. I don't have the clips mounted to anything since that's not necessary when holding materials, but thanks for mentioning it because that opens up a variety of other uses.
