    (57) A method of converting sheet material into gloves consisting of the steps of arranging sheet material with two inner plys (12) of thermoplastic between outer plys (14) of tissue. Then, applying heat to one of the outer plys of tissue in the outline of a glove (24), such that the inner plys of thermoplastic (12) bond the plys of sheet material together to form a glove (24) with an opening (30) along one side (16) to permit hand entry. An apparatus (34) for use in converting sheet material into gloves consisting of a body (36) and an electrically heated metal plate (48) mounted on the body with at least one opening in the shape of a glove. "C" clamps are hinged to the body such that the body may be mounted to a thermally insulated surface and moved between a position where the plate engages the surface, and a position where the plate is spaced from the surface. A disposable glove (10) consisting of two inner plys (12) of thermoplastic sheet material between outer plys of tissue sheet material (14), sealed together to form a glove with an opening (30) along one side to permit hand entry.
