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.

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! ;)
