"memo holder" is the term used for shopping.

On making your own, the clips are called alligator clips, and are used in electrical applications, but you can find them at craft stores too. The wire is probably nylon coated steel wire.

I'll have to try this one time. I found that a rolled up ball of clay with a straightened paperclip stuck into it works well if you need a quick fix...
