How to make a removable stylus for the Dare using a DS stylus

You will need:

A Dare
A DS stylus
A piece of thread, the stronger kind preferably or any thin string

Take your DS stylus and remove the back part (the part that you do not write with).  It may not come off easily so gently pull with pliers if needed.  Remove it without harming it - we will be using this part.

Thread the string through the little slit in that part of the stylus - do not tie it off yet

After the stylus-end is threaded, thread the upper-right part of the Dare where you can attach things.

Now tie a knot tightly to attack the end part of the stylus.  You do not want any give - it should be stuck right against the Dare.  If you leave too much length the stylus will flop about and possibly scratch the screen.  If you tie it tightly the stylus will not even be able to reach the front or back of the phone, making scratching the screen impossible.

Now all you need to do is put the stylus back on the end-piece.  It is removable so whenever you want to use it just seperate the stylus from the end piece.

You might notice that the end of the stylus is a bit sharp.  I fixed this with a small file - just file around the edges to make a slight bevel and it will be comfortable.

I will post pictures if I can borrow a digital camera, but I use my Dare for pictures so I can't take a picture of it unfortunately.  It works very well, though; I attached my stylus last night and am happy with the results.

e: duuuh I can use a mirror, here it is

Alright, got a video up...I don't know why I didn't think of using a mirror.

Great idea.  Just be careful putting it in your pants pocket!!   

I likes the cat,
:]

I am right now, feeling so so guilty.  One of my vendors "dropped" his stylus for his "handheld" after entering my order.  It now resides with my Dare.

Fishing line...hangmans knot at the Dare and hangmas on the stylus....hangs just fine.  I am sooooo bad.

I make sure the Dare is in my side pocket when he makes his sales calls. 

A moment of weakness...I scored on a heavy duty box cutter when one of the route deliverymen left it.  That I returned...eventually...I was raised in the stereotypical Father Knows Best, Donna Reed Show, "Lay on the guilt trip" family.

My LG Dare from Telus came with a LG Stylus, and it is removable, with a string that can attach to the phone.
