Material:

An old slat curtains. (the one that stretches with two holes at the ends)
A clip of a pen to throw.
A piece of foam anti-static. (This is the gift you can ask a store of electronic materials. In short, is the foam that protects the pins of the ICs from electrostatic charges.

With very fine sandpaper polishing the outside you have the footage. This is necessary to remove the clear coat that is always there for aesthetic reasons. If you do not remove the tube will not conduct the current of your fingers. Polished a piece inside of the tube, just to be sure it is clean.

Cut a strip of foam rubber and plenty of forcibly inserted into the tube leaving a protruding piece.
