I bought a carbon heating flex tape from www.carbonheater.us (or on Amazon) and sewed it into an ordinary insulated fleece gloves.
For every glove I used 150 cm of carbon. It powered by 12 V. Current is about 1,5A for each one.

Tape sewed by hands on the inner side of glove . Connected in parallel 2 x 75 cm.
Because of tape is thin and very soft I placed it directly to fingertips side.

You can sew wire to carbon tape to make a good and flexible connection. The contact place shouldn't be hotter then the tape itself. If not you must increase the contact area.
