What you're gonna need is:
• A pair of scissors
• A pen with removable ink
• Aluminum foil
• A small plate of water
• An ear cleaner thingy

Take the Ink Out of the Pen

Cut the ear cleaner in half as shown in the photos. If you have a smaller pen, you'll need to cut it at an angle to fit it in.

Put the ear cleaner in the pen like so...

After that, reenforce it with the foil

Wet the Ear Cleaner

This is so the static electricity from your hand can go through the foil to the wet cleaner, and to the phone. So you can touch the screen with your stylus, then accessing any apps, or drawing, or something.

Use the Stylus!

You may have to press down hard the first couple taps...
If you have any trouble with it, just wet the tip again and you can use it again! Have fun! ;)
