Want to buy a stylus for your mobile or tablet? It costs around $10 to $30, but do you know that you can create your own stylus in just 2 minutes at zero cost. I recently happened to see a video on Cnet.com about “Creating Stylus in 2 minutes” by Sharon Vaknin, Associate editor @ Cnet.com. This tutorial is based on it, here we go,
Get ready with the below items,
- A cotton swab (aka “Q-tip”)
- Aluminum foil
- Scissors
- Tape
- A pen
1. Take your pen and remove the refill.
2. Cut the cotton swab at a sharp angle and insert it into the opening of the pen. You may use the tape to secure it.
3. Wrap the aluminium foil around the neck of the pen, a couple of centimeters above the tip of the cotton swab. Wrap tightly, and secure with tape at the top.
4. Moisten the cotton swab with a drop of water. As said by Sharon Vaknin, this will not harm your mobile or tablet.
You’are done! Remember to keep touching the aluminium foil at all times. You may need to re-moisten the cotton swab, if your stylus is not functioning.
