What a cool idea! IKEA wanted customers to be able to view their digital catalog on-the-go, so they introduced a new sewing kit that includes conductive thread to customize your gloves or mittens to be touchscreen-compatible.

Use Silver DMC thread for the same effect. You can get it any place that sells stitching supplies.
