For this 1 Minute Finger Tip you'll need a pair of scissors, some drinking straws, a hole punch and a cardboard CD cover (the kind that comes with free promotional CDs).
Can you beat Fearne's studio time of 57 seconds?

Remember you can time yourself using the exclusive Finger Tips timer which will have popped up when you opened this page.
Start the clock, and begin by folding the cardboard CD cover in half.
Take the scissors and carefully cut two semicircles out along the fold, like this.
Next, take four bendy drinking straws.

Cut each about 1cm above the bendy bit and get rid of the bendy bits.
Unfold the cardboard CD case and use the hole punch to pop a hole in each corner.
Finally just thread the cut-down drinking straws through each hole.
Stop the clock!

You've made a wrestling ring. Just add some string to complete the effect!
Find a friend and get them to pop their thumb through one of the holes. Do the same yourself and lock your fingers in a monkey grip.

Then let battle commence - it's the Finger Tips thumb fight!
The idea is to get your opponent's thumb on the canvas as soon as possible!
