Upgrade from your finger to this super simple, homemade stylus and make your Apple touchscreen device even more fun to use.
Step 1: Get a sock Get a sock that is labeled "antistatic." The
silver threads in this material conduct electricity, which is what the
touchscreen responds to.
Step 2: Cut it out Cut the antistatic
part of the sock in a rectangle to the length of the pencil or pen and
slightly wider than the size you need to wrap all the way around it,
leaving room for a small seam.
Tip The more excess material you have, the larger your stylus will be.
Step 3: Sew a pocket Lay
the rectangle flat and fold one lengthwise end toward the middle about
two inches. Sew a seam along the bottom and along both sides of this
small flap about 1/4 inch from each edge, leaving the top open, to
create a small pocket for the blunt end of the pen or pencil.
Step 4: Sew the rest Make
sure the other end of the material is slightly shorter than the
pencil's length. Then stretch this end and hook it on the pencil's tip.
Sew a seam on the rest of the sock material lengthwise along the pencil,
leaving a small opening at the end of the first section you sewed so
you'll be able to remove the pencil.
Step 5: Invert Remove the pencil and use it to carefully and slowly invert the sewn-up sock material.
Step 6: Replace and use Replace the pencil inside the material, using the blunt end for the stylus's pointer for your iPhone or iPad. Start tapping! Did You Know?
Launched in 2010, the Apple iPad is considered a new type of device, somewhere between a laptop and a smartphone.
