Do It Yourself Large Pen/Pencil Grip

Enlarge the shaft of a pen or pencil to make it easier to grip. You can wrap it with tape. Or, you can put it through a pink foam curler or other special grip. The enlarged surface can be held with less pressure than is needed to hold a thin pen or pencil. And, because your fingers do not have to bend as much when holding the larger grip, it can be more comfortable to hold.
