How to Make a Soft Tip Stylus for the iTouch
Test your kitchen sponge by brushing it across the iPod touch's screen to make sure it can be detected by the device. Organic sponges typically perform the best, but you may need to experiment with different types and brands to find one that the iPod touch can detect.
Cut a rectangular piece of sponge approximately 1 inch by 2 inches. The depth is determined by the depth of the kitchen sponge, but is ideally around 1 inch.
Squash the sponge and roll it into a tight cylindrical shape 1 inch long.
Wrap the thin copper wire around half of the sponge to help it keep its cylindrical shape. Leave at least 6 inches of copper wire free.
Twist or unscrew the artist's charcoal holder to open it wide enough to slide the copper-bound side of the sponge cylinder into it. Tighten the holder to grip the sponge, leaving approximately one-quarter of an inch of sponge protruding from the holder. The free piece of wire should also protrude from the end of the holder.
Wind the remaining length of wire around the holder. Keep the wire tight, though the spiral can be quite wide. Secure the wire at the opposite end of the holder to the sponge using a piece of sticky tape. The stylus is now ready for use on your iPod touch.
