How to use your smartphone in the cold without taking off your gloves

Winter life hacks for gadget lovers: using your smartphone in the cold without gloves.

With the onset of cold weather, many of us have to choose between the warmth of our hands and the convenience of using our smartphone. However, there is a simple and original way to combine these two desires. Using ordinary lurex, you can turn any gloves into touch-sensitive ones, which will allow you to use your phone even in the most severe frosts.

With a few stitches, you can turn your ordinary gloves into “special”.

Winter is coming soon, and using a smartphone will be difficult. However, winter life hacks have already been invented to simplify using your phone in the cold.

There is a little trick that will allow you to respond to messages in gloves. You can make an ordinary glove touch-sensitive.

Take lurex — metallic thread. First, put a glove on your hand and identify the area that touches the display. Remove the glove and embroider the lurex pattern in this place.

Make sure that the rest of the thread is inside and can touch the fingertips.

Useful tips:

  • Which lurex to choose: Lurex of any color and thickness is suitable for making sensory gloves. The main thing is that it is of high quality and holds firmly on the fabric.
  • What gloves to use: Thin wool or fleece gloves are best. Thick and coarse materials can interfere with the passage of an electrical signal.
  • Experiment: Don't be afraid to experiment with different patterns and the amount of lurex. The main thing is to achieve the desired result.

Advantages of this method:

  • Savings: You don't need to buy special sensor gloves.
  • Individuality: You can create unique gloves that are just right for you.
  • Simplicity: Making sensory gloves is very easy, even a beginner in needlework can handle this task.

Caution:

  • Effectiveness: The effectiveness of this method depends on the type of glove fabric, the thickness of the lurex, and the sensitivity of the smartphone screen.
  • Wear: Over time, the lurex may wear out, and you will have to repeat the embroidery procedure.

With this simple life hack, you will be able to comfortably use smartphone even in the coldest season, without sacrificing the warmth of your hands.

Done! Now you can use your mobile phone in the cold without taking off your gloves!
