ok  lets get started ,
note you can follow the pictures above to make it easier ,

ok now take your paper clips and bend it on to the battery post one on the positive and the other on the negative ,  
next take two wires one for each paper clip and connect them to the ends of your paper clip , 
next take a piece of your electrical tape and make a bridge in between the paper clips to hold them from touching each other , 
now to be sure it works you can use your voltmeter or led on open ends of your connector to test it ,
 
That's it you now have your own homemade battery clip ,
