      • From the same piece of felt or paper, trace and cut out two larger circles. You can use a small glass or mug to trace these circles. They will go on the palms of the gloves.
      • gloves 2Either glue or sew (adults only) the felt to the gloves. Regular glue will work for a one-time Halloween costume, but you may want to use a hot glue gun or needle and thread if the costume will be worn more than once.
