Default Need to make a THIN stylus for an iPad (that doesn't cost $75)

Since a stylus should be pretty simple sans moving parts, how does it
work and, more importantly, can we craft one out of readily available
materials that has a thin (pen-like) point?


Cactus thorns were used for gramophone pickup needls at one time,
probably tough enough, but not so hard to score boro-silicate glass
perhaps. So for a really "green" eco-product line , go for a cactus
thorn glued with pine resin into a swan quill. 80 dollars anyone?
that'll do nicely
