Step 1 of 8

Strip a wire. I used stranded but you can use any wire. We'll use this as a conductor of static energy.

Step 2 of 8

cut out a bit of sponge.

Step 3 of 8

wrap the sponge cutout with aluminum foil. form a hershey's kiss-like shape but its important that the bottom part is FLAT.

Step 4 of 8

this is the bottom part of our stylus. it is imperative that it's flat. you can achieve this by scratching it against a flat surface, like a table.

Step 5 of 8

Step 6 of 8

stuff it in an empty chamber of a pen.

Step 7 of 8

then wrap the wire that's sticking out around your pen. then wrap it in electrical tape, or any other tapes to secure it

Step 8 of 8

i hope this guide helps! it's my first one so i'd like to hear your feedback. :) add me on draw something. my username is chaos0153. happy drawing guys. :)

actually i recommend you use a screen protector. so that the main screen won't get scratched permanently.

@aditheya it will unfortunately. it's a good thing that i had a matte screen protector when i tried it out.

You can buy 10 of the real ones on ebay for $1 great job though

I made this last night and it worked ok for a while. I was assuming that you were suppose to write with the foil part cause I couldn't get the other end to right at all. The like I said the foil end did work for a bit. But if you have to keep the end flat then the contact surface to the screen is just as big or bigger than my finger. So it does just as much detail as i cando w

thank you dan. have you tried it yourself?

Kevin Espaldon (author) last year

I started using a stylus with my iPad but now I prefer using one with my iPhone as well. Ive been ordering them from amazon because they are inexpensive there. However, nobody can beat yours!
