when I got back into it during quarantine I used bandaids because I had two spots that were raw. but eventually you build up a callus!

I used sport tape for a long time, but don’t knot so tight that works as well. 🤪

What about the wrists / forearm area? Like when I flex my pointer finger tying forward knots, press my phones power button, or press the button on spray paint? Any tips for that?

If you stretch a lot and use ice @seefAlly that should help!

This problem was a prominent one for me ahaha. At first, I got constant blisters and even cuts and now I've just built up a callus on both of my middle fingers. Just make it through the pain now and eventually you'll be immune lol. Hopefully, this gives you a bit of hope for the future of bracelet making!! 😂
