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

This idea came to us whilst visiting South Korea, sharing the story of FixIts with amazing people there. We were so inspired every time we sat down to eat, we had to have a go at making these chopsticks rests and trainers ourselves. They're fun to make, unique to you, and a great talking piece.

Give it a go if you fancy it? As ever with FixIts, it's easy to use and endlessly reusable, so unlike the delicious food you are about to eat, you can't make a meal out of it. 

We’ve all been there. Something is a bit wobbly and needs a tightened screw. You reach out for the wing nut. It’s gone.

Nightmare. 

Don't waste time hunting for a replacement. Just make your own one. It's exactly what FixIts was made for. In minutes, you can use FixIts to make your own wing nut. 

Here's the pro tip: dip it in cold water to speed the set. 

Simple as that. 

We've got your back. Well, your wing nut. 

Keep your milk fresh for longer and skip the messy spills with these homemade Fixits milk bottle tops. 

They're fun to make, they look good, and you can even colour-code them using different FixIts shades, which is handy if more than one bottle lives in your fridge.
