This is a guide on how to make a flex sensor using velostat conductive plastic, copper foil, and laminate sheets. This creates a very robust bend or pressure sensor which I'm using for my DIY VR finger tracking glove.
The glove is based on the design by Lucas from LucidVR, you can find more information about his awesome project here: / lucasvrtech

The supplies I used to build the glove are:
- 1/4" copper foil tape
- Photo pouch laminate sheets 4"x6"
- Velostat sheets from adafruit (correction from the video, the cost is $4.95 per sheet, but one sheet can make 20-30 bend sensors):
