Make your own Glam Gloves..

Here's what you need to get started.. One pair of gloves.. ( We found these at the Dollar Tree) 2 pieces of fabric cut 16 inches long and 5 inches wide.. 2 pieces of lace ,each 10 inches long.. 2 buttons.. Buttonhole thread, a few straight pins, needle and a pair of scissors..  And a sewing machine..

First you want to sew the ends together.. like so..

Then fold them in half right side out.. Baste around the bottom edge.. Now pin the cuffs to the gloves, making a pleat in the front..  Like so.. Sew the cuffs to the gloves with your sewing machine.. (it feels so odd sewing thru rubber..smiles..)

Now turn the cuffs up, like so..

Now sew a running stitch in the 10 inch piece of lace (i'm using eyelet here) Pull your thread tight to make a circle, sew the little ends together and finish off.. Now sew the lace circle to the glove by sewing a button on top of it thru the cuff.. Like so..

And here's our Glamor Gloves..  Hope this helped you make your very own pair ... Can you stop at making just one pair?
