'Big Brush' Holder

Ok, this is probably too simple for Ibles, but I've had problems hanging big brushes to soak in buckets of water without having them fall in. So for anyone else out there who is as slow as I am, this is an fast, easy, inexpensive, and stable way to keep larger brushes hanging in deep containers.  

Step 1 Materials needed

Two  wooden spring clothespins per brush  (The pink clothespins are unmodified)
A utility knife
Bucket or  other container for water
