I have a nicely equipped wood working shop with well over 50 different wood clamps and I still use weights from time to time when gluing. Books will work, as will cans of pain, cans of food and even a toolbox can be used.
I haunt yard sales and buy ever 5 lb barbell weight I can find. They work great for holding a frame flat while it dries. This is not recommended for you unless you have a set of wights you can borrow from, but it might help other woodworkers reading this.
That should get you started. BTW, while the strap idea works great, it has a tendency not to apply much pressure in the center of a span so insert a block there to get a tighter fit.
Good luck, you will do fine.

Everyone needs clamps, and a drawer requires that all the angles on the corners be 90 degrees, or it will not shut right and will be whopperjawed in the desk.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Wrap packaging string or twine around the drawer several times to hold the drawer in place. Take a pencil and insert it between the strands and use it to wrap the string tighter. When the glue is dry, remove the pencil and the string.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Give the 10 to Nicholas. I'll add one more. The bunji type cors sold all over the globe, with hooks on each end. Stretch, an appropriate size, hook together, let glue dry, and pray for success.

Use a piece of cord/rope, put a stick through the loop and twist to tighten. Method two, put some heavy objects on it, like books.
