Hey, I replied to this about a day ago but no reply is coming up now. So I'm going to respond again, just in case you can't see it. Since I stink at writing idol clues as well, and I want a contestant to have one, I'll usually avoid writing the actual clue entirely, instead simply picturing where I want the idol to be found. Example down below.

---

Castaway A receives a cluue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. Castaway A reads the clue to himself and then decides to search for the idol.

Castaway A: The idol clue says something about being up high, so I'll look in a bunch of trees.

Castaway A climbs several trees before realizing that this isn't very time-effective. Castaway A examines the clue again, and notices another part of the clue.

Castaway A: The clue also mentions pie. So maybe the clue is in that tree with an image of pie carved into it.

Castaway A goes to this tree and climbs it, searching for the idol. He finds it in the tree, and celebrates.

That's pretty much what I do. I know it doesn't fully answer your question, but hopefully it comes close. Sorry I couldn't really do much more helping :)
