Pictures for the DIY iPad Stylus

My apologies for the delay in getting these pictures up: actually taking the pictures turned out to be trickier than I had expected, and in the end I had to borrow the portable photo booth that my husband uses to take pictures of his model tanks (thank you, darling!).

However, here we are:

Get your piece of conductive foam:


And your Q-tip:


And your mechanical pencil:


Trim the Q-tip stem:



Glue the foam to the end of the plastic tube, and trim to shape:


Insert into jaws of mechanical pencil, and you're done:


I've managed to get hold of some Sugru, and I want to see if I can improve on this stylus by capping the end of the tube with a blob of Sugru before adding the foam. If that works, I'll post about it.
