Here it is some of the coldest weather we’ve seen in months and no matter how much we bundle up no one likes taking their gloves off to text or make a phone call when they’re outside.

Well consider Smart Phone Gloves or for the adventurist type, making your own touch screen hand coverings using Conductive Thread. The technology has been around for years but folks living on the West coast really haven’t needed it long term.

Although there are plenty of tutorials on line the process is simple. First, head to your favorite fabric store (you may want to call ahead to make sure they have it) then get a pair of gloves. Wool or thermal work best. And since most sewing machines won’t be happy with this thick thread, get out a needle and simply make a few stitches on every finger tip you’ll use on your touch screen. If all this sounds too complicated, you can order a pair on Amazon starting at $10.

Life made simple and it sure beats using your nose to unlock your iPhone!
