Thank you. -Jeff H Coating soft Grafitti over a strap of paper so as to create a strip of conductive material (that must touch your skin when you wrap it around your wrist) and soldering a copper wire to the grafitti stripe to plug into a grounding point should work. Be *very* wary of plugging that wire in non-trustable grounds. You could be eletrocutated if there is ground return (either due to electrical installation fault or a lightning bolt).
