How to make a thimble

Super fast and easy way to make a ‘fits like a glove’ sewing thimble 🙌🏻

I have a thimble somewhere in my house but I needed one ‘NOW’ so I made one in a couple of minutes
And it’s fits my finger like a glove - no more balancing acts 👍🏻

Pop a stick into kettle boiled water for about a minute - wait for the wiggle- tear off what you need then mould and smooth wait a minute for it to harden - stand back and admire your clever work! 😍

You will need:

  • FixIts stick
  • Kettle boiled hot water
  • Needle to make indentations.



Get your FixIts

Look, we get it. People often think FixIts is soft and spongy. But the thing is: FixIts isn't at all lightweight. In fact, it's super strong. And surprisingly solid. And that's what makes it such a brilliant DIY tool. You can drill it, saw it, sand it. You can do all sorts with it. 

Lost a lid on holiday? Look, we've all done it. Sun lotion, lipstick, cleanser - lids disappear at the worst moments. And replacing them? Expensive, messy, annoying. 

FixIts to the rescue. Mould it, shape it, dip it in water to smooth the edges - and you've got a custom lid in minutes. Job done. 

Well, that put a lid on that one.

You know the moment: you're packing. You get to the bathroom bits. You realise: no razor lid. You lost it a week ago! Nightmare.

Oh, but wait. There's a handy tin of FixIts in your kitchen drawer. And with FixIts, you can pretty much make or mend anything. Including a new razor cover. In minutes. 

Check it out, this one's a game-changer.
