Laura's Thimble Alternative Tip

Simple Thimble Alternative

By Connie G. Barwick, About.com

Laura submitted this tip about an alternative for thimbles. She writes, "I have never been comfortable with using thimbles. They seem too cumbersome. Instead, I use "spot" size Band-Aids on my thumb and middle fingers. It works great. They are very flexible and they protect your skin nicely."
