Kelkay,
You can use the test clips as you indicate in your question, but, you might find it more economical and indeed advantageous to use alligator type clips. If you decide to pursue these make sure you get the ones with the round shroud on the end.
A piece of Styrofoam with the clips simply 'jammed' into it makes a dandy drying rack for your purpose. Or you could get a bit fancier and glue the clips to short sections of wood dowels, pointing the opposite end so they can be stuck into the Styrofoam also.
If you get a mid sized clip you may find you have no need for small and large sizes.
Radio Shack also sells these alligator clips, but Ebay might be cheaper and a dozen quantity is pretty much a single package in a lot of places.
Tight lines,
George
