Adaptive Tools That Reduce Barriers

Diamond painting should be for everyone. Our new adaptive tools are purpose-built to lower the barriers to creating — so makers of every age and ability can unwind, create, and shine.

Adaptive Tools

Two purpose-built attachments that help remove mobility barriers to art—so makers of every ability can unwind, create, and shine.

High-Contrast Paper

Bold, clear designs on paper — no tiny printed symbols to squint at. Easier on low vision and anyone who finds number grids overwhelming.

Larger-Format Gems

Bigger resin gems are simpler to pick up and place, supporting fine-motor development and younger or less steady hands.

No-Grid, No-Pressure Design

Freehand creation means there's no 'wrong' answer. Pick up a pencil, sketch your idea, and make it your way—every maker can participate and succeed on their own terms.

Accessibility should be accessible.

We intentionally keep our adaptive tools affordable — just $5 each — so more people can find the option that works for them.

Adaptive Diamond Painting Tool — $5 · Designed to reduce fine-motor demands and make diamond painting accessible to more hands.

"Aileen with Unwind Designs came to our small town in North East Iowa with Diamond Painting Kits for our excited boys and girls. She went above and beyond helping kids create their wonderful art. She even cleaned up — this was a great program the kids really enjoyed. I also thought the value was very good! Definitly bringing her in for more children's and adult programs. THANK YOU Aileen and your son for making our summer reading event special!"
