Laura's Thimble Alternative Tip

Simple Thimble Alternative

By , About.com Guide

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."
