Make the Finger Scales

• 1). Apply a light coating of rubber cement to the outside of an empty toilet paper or paper towel tube.
  
  
• 2). Cover the tube with aluminum foil with the shinier side down and the duller side facing up. Allow the glue to set.
  
  
• 3). Cut out small scale shapes along the length of the foil-covered tube for the glove's fingers. This will allow the cardboard's curve to wrap around the fingers.
  
  
• 4). Glue the individual scales to the back of the fingers of the work glove with hot glue; each one should overlap the previous scale. Start at the tips of the fingers and work up to the base.
  
  

Make the Hand Guard

• 1). Glue a sheet of aluminum foil over a sheet of cardboard with rubber cement. Use the same method used with the toilet paper tubes to make scales.
  
  
• 2). Cut out wider pieces of the cardboard that are the width of your hand and shaped to overlap where the finger scales ended. Leave indentations in the first plate to give the fingers room to flex backward, and cut a concave curve out of one side of the plates to give the thumb flexibility.
  
  
• 3). Glue the plates to the work glove with hot glue so that each overlaps the previous one. Begin at the base of the fingers and work backward to the wrist.
  
  

Make the Wrist Cuff

• 1). Cut through the outer rim of a pie tin toward the middle. Once your scissors are past the upturned sides, cut around the tin to remove its flat bottom.
  
  
• 2). Curl and slide the remaining tin over itself to twist it up while leaving enough room for your wrist to pass through. Hold the ends in place with a dab of hot glue.
  
  
• 3). Hot glue the curled tin to the wrist of the glove to form the cuff. The cut edges should face toward the fingertips and the tin's original edges should facing back toward the wrist.
