1 . A clip for holding a moisture barrier membrane over metal studs configured and sized for tightly and resiliently engaging a metal stud's edge for the purpose of attaching said moisture barrier membrane caught in between said clip and said metal stud and said clip further comprising: 
 a straight section from which integrally extends a curled section which comprises a first elbow, a second elbow, and a third elbow;    said second elbow creating a gap.    
   
   
       2 . A clip for holding a moisture barrier membrane over metal studs having the following method of use: 
 a gap is firstly engaged onto an edge of a stud;    said gap being created by a second elbow as it engages onto said edge;    pushing a straight section of said clip against said stud;    said pushing of said straight section engaging a curled section onto said edge to secure both said clip and a moisture barrier onto said stud.
