Pls help :P

I have a lot of issues with certain textures. One of the worst ones for me is craft felt, which just so happens to be a material I have to use for an art project in a class. I actually care a lot about my grade in this class, so I'm trying to figure out a work around.

Idk what to do, and everybody I've asked for advice on this has either told me to suck it up, or just doesn't understand my problem :[

The only solution I can think of is to wear gloves, but I think that'd get me bullied so hard, and I'm really trying to avoid that rn.
