How to Make Gloves Touchscreen-Friendly (Easy DIY Options + Best Solution)

octubre 03, 2025 2 lectura mínima

Tired of taking off your gloves just to use your phone?

We’ve all been there. It’s freezing outside, and you need to answer a call or check your GPS — but your gloves just don’t work on your smartphone.

So, how can you make gloves touchscreen-friendly? The good news is there are a few ways, from simple DIY hacks to quick, long-lasting solutions.


Why Regular Gloves Don’t Work on Touchscreens

Smartphone and tablet screens are capacitive — they detect the natural conductivity of your skin. Most gloves act as a barrier, which means your finger’s electrical signal never reaches the screen.

To fix this, you need to add a conductive surface to your glove’s fingertip.


DIY Methods to Try at Home

1. Conductive Thread

You can sew conductive thread into the fingertips of your gloves. It creates a path for electricity from your finger to the screen.

  • ✅ Works fairly well

  • ❌ Requires sewing skills

  • ❌ Can wear out quickly

2. Aluminum Foil Trick

Tape a small piece of aluminum foil onto the fingertip of your glove.

  • ✅ Works instantly

  • ❌ Tears easily and looks awkward

  • ❌ Not durable for everyday use

3. Home Conductive Paint

Some people try applying conductive paint or glue to glove tips.

  • ✅ Adds conductivity

  • ❌ Messy, cracks as the glove flexes

  • ❌ Often doesn’t last long


The Easy & Reliable Way: Touchscreen Stickers

While DIY methods can work, they’re usually temporary or impractical. That’s why touchscreen stickers are the fastest and most reliable solution.
