Mini Stylus




This is a great little tool!  It can be attached to a key chain or directly to your touch screen device. It comes with a cord and a plug that fits into the audio jack of your phone, iPad, etc. so you always have it with you.  It has a soft tip that mimics your finger on the touch screen, but is smaller than your finger.  These come in 24K Gold or Chrome and are quite easy to make.  The coverable tube is a bit small, as you can see, which poses a little bit of a challenge, but isn't difficult.  Quick, easy and economical to make, they make a great gift for a co-worker -- not too personal, but very useful -- or anyone.
These were made by laying colors, creating a textured pattern, and slicing off the raised portions of the clay to create a 2 or 3 color pattern.  Then the clay is applied to a brass tube and cured. The ends are pressed onto the tube and voila!  You have a handy dandy mini stylus!
