I’m sure others have done this one, but I’m saving for more expensive equipment and didn’t want to spend the $$$ on a hop spider. A bonus is that I can squeeze the hops in the bag to get as much goodness out of them as possible.

Those clips could fail, and you could lose containment. you can build a sturdier version without spending a lot of money. Mine is a PVC reducer, a 3" SS band clamp and the clip off a 25' Stanley tape measure riveted to the side. Lots of other cheap examples on here.
