Why This Dog Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The Dog artwork on this canvas frames a dog seated facing outward, ears relaxed, coat textured in layered strokes with the muzzle and eyes worked in finer detail, worked in warm tans and creams with darker shading at the ears and back. The overall character is warm and loyal rather than theatrical. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for entryways and family rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD674. The eyes are worked last and in the finest drill available — that sequence is what gives the finished portrait expression Put simply, a dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters.
a dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. The warm colouring is what allows it to sit in entryways and family rooms without dominating.
DOTZSO builds these kits for slow evenings, with a finish good enough to leave out on the table. Box contents run to a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and a pictorial reference sheet.
Nothing here is decorative-only. The base grips, the cork absorbs, and the drill surface is pressed flat so it survives ordinary use.
The 8-piece format covers seating for a full table without buying twice.

- Comfort-grip applicator pen

How to Make It
- Unroll the canvas on a flat surface and let it settle under something weighted if it has been rolled tight.
- Find the legend strip and match the first symbol to its drill colour.
- Press the pen tip into the wax caddy, then touch it to a drill – the drill lifts and stays on the tip.
- Set the drill onto the matching printed symbol and press lightly. Work one coaster at a time rather than moving across the whole set.
- Complete all coasters, then press each finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Finally, leave the set on the table for a few hours before first use so the drills settle fully.
Work through it gradually, then let the finished coasters take their place in daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dog coaster set complete without further purchases?
Yes. The Dog coaster set ships complete with the stand shown in the product images, so the coasters have somewhere to live when they are not in use, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference BD674.
Will the Dog surface shed drills over time?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Dog design holds under normal use. The cork-backed base is what stops condensation reaching the table, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. It is a working finish rather than a display-only one.
How often does the Dog coaster set need attention?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge them or put them through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Dog palette, warm tans and creams tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. There is no special product needed for the Dog surface.
Does the Dog design leave any part untreated?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Dog artwork is drawn so that a dog seated facing outward reads clearly at any distance. The Dog pattern carries to the outer edge.
Is the Dog project a quick one or a long one?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Dog design is warm and loyal, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Dog pattern rewards steady work rather than rushing.
Would I manage the Dog design with no experience?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the cork-backed base and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Dog layout is warm and loyal, which helps on a first attempt. Everything is supplied in the one pack.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The dog palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Great kit, no complaints.
Joyce D. (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. I love how the puppy colors turned out. Each one took me an evening to finish, quicker than I expected. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Jessica L. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Would definitely buy again.
Deborah H. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Highly recommend.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Really glad I bought it.
Michelle L. (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The puppy pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. I’ll be buying more from this shop. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Megan J. (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. It’s a charming dog piece and everyone comments on it. Each one took me a couple of hours to finish, quicker than I expected. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Brian W. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Marie S. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Yuki D. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The puppy detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Roman Wiggins (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The multi-placer tip took some practice. The puppy detail is impressive up close. They get used every single day at our house. Still worth it overall.
Margarita Fraser (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Margarita Mckenzie (verified owner) –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Great little housewarming gift. Would definitely buy again.
Kurt Potter (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Xavier West (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. Colors match the listing photo really closely. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I keep it by my chair and pick it up whenever I have a few minutes. Would still recommend it.
Melanie Wise (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The puppy detail is impressive up close. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing. It’s a calm, repetitive hobby and that’s exactly what I wanted. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Very happy customer.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Still a solid purchase.
Camila C. –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Really pleased with this one.
Jim Peck –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Each coaster is a solid thickness and feels durable. Made a set for my sister and now she wants more. Really pleased with this one.
Lawrence Novak (verified owner) –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. The canvas print is sharp and the symbols are legible. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. Great little housewarming gift. One bag of drills had come open in transit. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Jonathan Francis (verified owner) –
These are my favorite style of kit to give away. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. This is a lovely dog piece for the price. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Rosa Webster (verified owner) –
This is a genuinely nice kit for the money. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. A really enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon. Great value considering how many hours of enjoyment it gave me. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Perry Carson –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Still a good kit overall.
Victor Mayer (verified owner) –
I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Would order again despite the small issues.
Delia Scott (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. The dog pattern is what made me choose this one. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Noah H. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Jessica Olson (verified owner) –

These are the perfect size to actually finish. The finish is even across the whole piece. The included pen wore out partway through. The set looks cohesive and well made on the shelf. Worth it despite the small things.

Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. I keep it by my chair and pick it up whenever I have a few minutes.

Arrived well packed and ready to start. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. The printed chart could have been a touch larger.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute.
