How to Make a Stylus
By: Brittany and Christine
The materials that you need are as following: a wire, a pen that you have taken out the ink the top and the bottom
You also need a sponge or some sort of electrical foam.
You need wire cutters, and scissors
These are all of the materials you need to make a stylus.
Now here is how you make one!
First, you take your empty pen, then you take your wire and you cut off the ends of both sides with the wire cutter, like so.
Then you insert the wire into the pen.
Just like that!
From there you take your sponge and wrap the wire tightly around the sponge.
Nice and tight at the bottom pinch it really strong and then you are going to push the foam deep into the pen.
Now you have to make sure that no wire shows.
So just like Brittany is doing, she is making sure that there is no wire outside of the pen.
Only the foam should be showing.
And just like that!
So that is exactly how it looks.
So now you need to make sure that you have enough wire come around the pen from the bottom to the top.
So it is really important that you have the wire going from the top so that it is conducting electricity to use when you are on your iPad.
So from there you are going to wrap it like so and then you are going to take tape, wire tape and this is what a finished stylus looks like!
Just like this and now we are going to test it out.
To make sure that your stylus works grab an iPad, turn it on and start playing with you iPad.
If you can open or slide, if you can press on an app and the app opens then your working.
If you can slide it around or x out it works too.
So that is how you make a stylus. Thanks!
