If you own an iPad but don’t have a stylus or find most stylus options out there to be quite expensive, worry not! Building your own stylus for your iPad is easier than you might think. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating your very own iPad stylus from common household items. Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

  • A cotton swab
  • An aluminum foil
  • A small piece of sponge
  • A ballpoint pen (preferably one with a retractable tip)
  • A pair of scissors

Step 1: Prepare the Cotton Swab

Start by removing one end of the cotton swab, so you’re left with a single cotton tip at one end and a hollow plastic tube at the other. Ensure that the cotton tip is securely attached to the plastic tube.

Step 2: Create the Conductive Tip

Take a small piece of aluminum foil and wrap it tightly around the cotton tip, extending slightly beyond the tip itself. Ensure that it is firmly attached and doesn’t move when touched.

Step 3: Insert the Sponge

Take the small piece of sponge and gently push it into the hollow plastic tube, ensuring a snug fit. This will help to stabilize the cotton tip and provide a comfortable grip while using the stylus.

Step 4: Prepare the Pen

Disassemble the ballpoint pen by removing the ink cartridge and its surrounding components. All you need is the shell or housing of the pen.

Step 5: Combine the Ballpoint Pen and Cotton Swab

Insert the cotton swab assembly into the empty pen housing. Make sure it fits securely and that the aluminum foil-wrapped tip extends just slightly beyond the pen housing.

Your DIY iPad Stylus Is Ready!

That’s it! You have successfully created your very own stylus for your iPad. Now, try it out on your iPad’s screen and enjoy the convenience of using a stylus without spending a fortune. If required, you can adjust the length of the cotton swab or the aluminum foil tip to fit your preferences. Happy sketching and note-taking!
