I printed an array of colors onto standard printing paper. Trim a piece of mounting film to the same size.

Peel and Stick the Film to the Back of Your Colored Paper

Time saver: for the mosaic-style gloves I divided up some of the larger shapes by drawing on them with a sharpie.

Peel Backing, and Stick in Place

Avoid placing any large pieces directly over a joint.

In No Time, You're Finished!

This technique may also be used for scale-like effects if you want your gloves to look reptilian (I photo-shopped an approximation) and so forth. The possibilities are many..

Have Fun!
