Based on the fourth attempt, we decided to make a prototype. Velcro and magnet materials were used. 

In addition, in order to fix the exercise equipment using the thumb, the Velcro was made in the following shape.

We attached these Velcro loops to both ends of the fabric. 

We attached this fabric to the gloves. It is a method of wrapping the fabric around the arm and fixing it.
So we started sewing gloves.

We learned more about how to use a sewing machine.
The gloves are almost complete. The photos are as follows:

And before, we chose to attach a large piece of metal to the glove, but we considered that the pointy piece could be dangerous and that it would be inconvenient because it is not flexible. So we will create weight by putting a small steel bead in the pocket. We decided to discuss the shape of the pocket and what method is convenient for attaching the padding to the gloves next time. We will also discuss how to attach and place the magnet to the glove.
