Step 1: Making Vibration Motor Modules (2014)
This step is quite independant of the rest of the glove-making process, so really you can do it at any point along the way. One reason to do it at the beginning though is that the Sugru takes a full day to cure so if you do it earlier on then the vibration motor modules will be ready by the time you need them.
Use some plastic to space the snaps apart the right distance. Mount the vibration motor between the snaps (on the back side) so that the casing of the vibration motor is not touching either metal snap! Solder the leads of the vibration motor to the back sides of the snaps. Use Sugru to cover the vibration motor and the front side of the plastic spacer, so that only the front sides of the snaps are exposed.

Open pack of Sugru, kneed for a bit and split into two equal parts. One for each vibration motor module.
Use some dish-washing soap to give the surface a polished effect:
