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

With Father's Day coming up, what better time to watch the father of FixIts, Chris Lefteri, doing a quick FixIts fix? This one is super simple and helps you save on the hassle, time and money of replacing an otherwise perfectly good chair. 

See how Chris uses a hairdryer to merge two bits of FixIts? That's a useful tip if you can't pop your FixIts in boiled water. 

Check out Ali's boots. The laces were really frayed. Always getting soggy and wet, always flipping this way and that. Really annoying.

Never fear, FixIts is here and works really well on fabric. Give this a watch and then give it a go!

FixIts is so great for outdoor fixes. Take this magnetic plant support. It's actually super easy to make and a really nifty little device for gathering up those plants that have started to do their own thing.
