I have kinda stubby hands so I've learned that when gloves are too big for me, the easiest thing to do is cut off the fingers. I recently got a large collection of gloves that once belonged my fiance's grandmother. Most of them fit me perfectly but a few pairs were a bit to big. They looked like they had never been used so I guess they were too big for her too. I saw cut-out gloves in the Chanel spring 2011 rtw show and became immediately obsessed. I finally got around to making my own.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Scissors
  • An X Acto Knife
  • Two pieces of Cardboard or heavy cardstock, one cut to fit inside the palm of the glove and one cut to fit inside a finger of the glove
  • Unlined vintage leather Gloves
  • Hot Glue Gun

Steps (8 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Things you need for this DIY:

  2. 2

    First I turned the gloves inside out and marked with a pencil where to cut the bottom off, leaving a quarter inch seam allowance. You can kinda see.

  3. 3

    Then I chopped em and hot glued the edge over.

  4. 4

    I cut off the fingers without measuring but I put them on before I glued the edges to make sure I had cut enough off. You wanna leave yourself about an 8th of an inch extra.

  5. 5

    I glued the finger edges in four steps to make it easier; front, back, side, side.

  6. 6

    I used pencil to draw rectangles on the back of the glove.

  7. 7

    Here's the tedious part, cutting the rectangles out with the X-acto knife.

  8. 8

    Then I turned them inside out and was good to go!

    Enjoy!
