you can first trade or buy "official" IT's stylus, n800 n810 and n770 to have samples for doing the work, because I think they're different
I've made also a Nintendo DS wood stylus, it's also very easy to make.
well, not that easy if you do it right

after i lost my first stylus, i took the backup stylus and drilled a small hole through the indentation at the end, tied the end of a piece of tough sowing thread to it and glued the other end of the thread with epoxy to the top half of the tablet, just above the erphone jack. i'm hanging on to my last stylus by a thread, to coin a phrase.

Keep the tip soft and blunt.
