A Thimble from a Bandage??

Today we are going to continue with the saga of finding a thimble that will work with my poor, arthritic fingers…..

On Tuesday I posted about revamping my “Ugly Thimble” to add some elastic to it…..

…and I do think that it will work fairly well.

BUT, someone suggested that I try making a thimble out of a self-adhesive Elastic Bandage…..

Now that’s interesting!!!

So, I tried it and wanted you to see how it worked…..

I will try this new design out and let you know how it works in real life!!!

If you enjoy this blog, please share it with your friends!!!

Thank you…….

Thimble Suggestions Needed

For some time I have been looking for a good thimble and would love your suggestions.

You see, I have arthritis in my hands and a normal thimble just won’t fit over the unsightly humps…..

In earlier years I have tried the following…..

..and recently purchased an “ugly thimble” which is made for you while you wait…..

…and this one that I was SURE would work…..

But NONE of them will stay put on my fingers!!!

I have used Thimble Pads…..

…but the ones that I have bought recently don’t seem to stick very well!!

I found this photo and recently read about using electrical tape…..

….but haven’t tried it yet!!

The same for using vet wrap…..

So now it is your turn….. what are your suggestions??
