I use them in my craft projects. I’ve made mummy hands out of them by dipping gauze in liquid starch and wrapping the hands. If you turn them inside out they are more like the color of skin so I insert wires in each finger (so they can be posed), stuff them with batting and use them on my life size Halloween figurines and of course I throw a few in the witches boiling pot of stew.

I always reuse rubber gloves. I like to feel them cover my hands and I use them a lot of times: washing dishes, making the bed (I am a dude, Italian) and other things.

I mended small holes with a bicycle puncture repair kit- cut the patches into small pieces and they fit on the finger tips. Makes the gloves last a bit longer before you have to throw them out/ recycle them.

[...] guess there will be some overlap with rubber gloves – but the thinner Latex may restrict – or inspire – other [...]

Congratulations on your good news. Please look into re-useable nappies, as disposable nappies don’t break down in the landfill!

use them as extra grip when trying to open stubborn bottles and jars.

I cut the fingers off and save them in my first aid kit. Then, when you get a cut on your finger and have to do something that involves getting your hands wet, you can just slip the glove finger over your own finger and secure it around the bottom with a little waterproof tape. Then you’re free to do dishes or yard work or whatever you need to without getting your bandage dirty.

LOL this is wierd. I just found out I’m pregnant too about 1 hour ago. We called the inlaws and then I when about washing my dishes. I just pricked my yellow kitchen gloves and was trying to find a solution to patch the hole. Anyway Joniepoo. Congrats on your baby if you had him/her. I think I will just patch it with the hot glue gun:)

HI – I just found out i am pregnant, we are very excited! Last night waiting for my husband to come home so I could take the test nearly killed me. but when that little blue + came up there was much jumping up and down and squealing.

So now finally I am pregnant and suddenly realise that I don’t know anything, so that’s a bit scary!

I need to start researching diapers and strollers and stuff! This is great!

I just had to tell someone! weeeeeeeeeeeee!

You could use them for gardening gloves if they are not too worn out.

Bandage Cover
Cut all the fingers from the body of the glove. Store in your first aid kit or toolbox. These make great covers for your fingers if you are wearing a bandage. They help to keep the area clean and dry when you are doing a dirty or wet task. For extra protection use first-aid tape to secure to your finger.

Somehow make them into pencil grips.

If your not bothered about them being completly waterproof you can just stick a sticking plaster over the hole (its better from the inside rather than on the outside). That keeps out most of the moisture pretty well.

I use them in a similar way, for their non-slip properties. I stick the palms of old rubber gloves to the bottom of vases and planters. It makes them less likely to be knocked off surfaces by rampant running children.

i always keep an old glove in the kicthen to use when opening tight jars or bottles. i just need the palm bit so i don’t mind about any holes in the fingers or hwatever. it works just like those special pads you cdan by – since they’re just the same sort of patterned rubber as gloves.

Cut the fingers off and slip them over the ends of mop handles. Now they don’t fall over when you rest them against a wall

cut them into slices (horizontally across) to make heavy duty rubber bands

I was just told a great one for this. Cut the fingers off and sew them onto your tool belt to add more capacity for screwdrivers and stuff. Clever one. I bet it works better than a normal toolbelt actually.

I don’t use rubber gloves much easier but I save old ones for when I’m going to be gardening in the area that has had feline “attention”. I don’t need them to be water tight, just something to keep the most of it off my hands.
