DIY STYLUS

We've all been there: scrambling through backpack for a pen during a fast-paced lecture. As a uni student who relies on a tablet,I found myself in this situation one too many times. I needed a stylus that was super affordable and effective. In this guide I'll walk you through the simple steps to create your own pocket-friendly stylus

Materials Required

1. Aluminium Foil
2. Used Pen
3. Cotton Bud
4. Cotton Thread

First you need to cut the cotton bud in half, the one i had was 2mm in width

In this step you'll to remove the pen refill from the pen and place the half cut cotton bud inside it.

P.S: make sure that the tip of cotton bud is outside of the pen and not fully inside.

After the cotton bud is placed inside the pen we need a cover the tip with a good conductor of electricity that is aluminium foil.

A loose foil tip means a wobbly and unreliable stylus.We need it to be snug! My simple solution was to use a cotton thread to tightly bind the foil at the pen's neck.This creates a firm, secure tip that won't let you down mid-lecture.
