A new stylus for almost nothing

Ever wanted a good stylus for your tablet? Obviously, but after the prizes displayed on amazon you changed your mind. Right? Well if you  now have decided to make your own DIY stylus. Then you are at the right place. To make the stylus you will need

  • A long pencil that you do not care of and by long I do not mean a 1 metre pencil but not a 1 inch pencil either.
  • Some tape. Any tape would work
  • And finally some aluminium foil. No need to worry if you do not have those. You can always use the one that came with chocolates. Just make sure you unwrap it in one piece

Follow the next steps to make your own stylus:

  1. Take your pencil and try cutting the tip of with a knife or something. I am not responsible about any mishaps.

  2. Now take aluminium foil make it flat like this.

  3. Now wrap the aluminium foil around the pencil.

  4. Now wrap some tape around the foil. Leave some foil on the top and some at the end cause this is where you hold. The finished product would look something like this.

The stylus might not work if your hand is not in contact with the foil so make sure to do that. You make need press down on the stylus to make it work. It may not work like the 100$ apple pencil but it gets the job done and besides you are getting this of almost nothing.
