The Love Glove
by Steve Casey
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

During the years our children were growing up, we had our share of
hospital visits. During the time spent with children at the
hospital, I often use the latex gloves to make balloon characters to
decorate the children’s rooms.

Recently, I found a way to use one of these latex gloves as a
romantic gift. First, I turned the glove wrong side out. Then I
tied the two middle fingers of the glove together, securing the knot
but not pulling the base of the fingers too close together. Next, I
turned the glove right side out and blew enough air into it to give
it a good ‘hand’ shape. This produced a hand with the little
finger, index finger and thumb out forming the well-known sign
language symbol for “I love you”. I then tied off the glove.

With a felt-tip pen I wrote an ‘I’ and a ‘U’ on the palm of the hand
and placed a heart sticker in between the letters. After placing a
few more heart stickers on the glove, I used double-sided sticky
padding to secure the bottom of the glove to a small ceramic
toothpick holder so that it would stand up appropriately. When my
wife came home from her job at the hospital, I had my ‘love glove’
where she would soon find it.
