Making gauntlets from Friendly Plastic
I bought a pair of black cotton gardening gloves and a dozen strips of a
product called "Friendly Plastic," which you can shape by softening it in
warm water. When scored lightly, it makes nice, crisp folds and shapes
around the fingers well. Once the finger armor was completed, I painted them
with metallic paint, then hot-glued them to the black gloves. It worked
extremely well and I was very pleased with the final product. You can find
Friendly Plastic at most craft stores, usually in the clay section.
To make the hood extend past the face, we added a black baseball cap
under the hood and it worked perfectly to extend it out a bit further.
