Why This Animal Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A Animal study built on a group of animals posed together at different scales, each with distinct fur or feather texture and individual character. The palette stays in warm naturals across the group with one brighter accent tied to the setting, and the piece keeps a friendly and varied register throughout. Animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite. It fits anyone who wants a handmade set without the upkeep ceramics demand. Designed for children's rooms and family spaces, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD687. Animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite.
animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite. Placed in children's rooms and family spaces, it reads as part of the room rather than an addition to it.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns its place in the room. Alongside the canvas you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
What makes this a working set rather than a display piece is underneath – a cork backing that takes the moisture before it reaches the furniture.
Matched drills across all 8 pieces mean the set looks deliberate when stacked or spread out.

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.
Finish the set at an easy pace, then leave it on the table rather than boxing it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set for the Animal design sold as one complete unit?
Yes. The Animal 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 BD687.
How does the Animal coaster set wear compared with standard diamond art?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Animal 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. The Animal work is fixed, not surface-mounted, so it does not shift.
Is the Animal coaster set easy to keep clean?
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 Animal palette, soft muted tones tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Animal finish prefers dry methods to wet ones.
What proportion of the Animal coaster set is covered?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Animal artwork is drawn so that a stylised creature built from simple rounded forms reads clearly at any distance. The Animal surface is treated as one complete unit.
Is the Animal coaster set a long or short project?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Animal design is playful and simple, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It is a project rather than a single evening’s task.
How difficult is the Animal design for a novice?
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 Animal layout is playful and simple, which helps on a first attempt. Everything required is in the pack.

I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Gave it to my wife as a gift and it was a big hit. Great kit, no complaints.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Happy customer here.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Really pleased with this one.

I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Great kit, no complaints.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. I’ll be ordering more.
Paige B. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Still worth it overall.

Sophia J. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The animal subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Overall a good experience.

This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. A great addition to my collection.

Katherine James (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The set stacks neatly in the holder on the shelf. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. The finished piece looks far better than I expected. The critter detail is impressive up close. Really happy with this one.
Larry Rodriguez (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. This is a lovely critter piece for the price. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. Glad I went with this one.

Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. Will be back for more.
Jorge J. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Still a solid purchase.
Miguel Woodard (verified owner) –
These are my favorite style of kit to give away. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Kelli Reyes (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The drills clicked into place without needing much pressure. I brought it on a weekend trip and finished most of it there. Completely satisfied.
Lucy Hancock (verified owner) –
I’ve had my eye on this design since last season. They’re sized well for a standard mug and a wider tumbler too. The animal motif makes it feel special. The tray included is on the small side. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. I’m already planning my next one from this shop. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Brendan Simmons (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. I’m proud to have this on display. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Still a good kit overall.
Ollie Conner (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. I went with the critter version and the colors are lovely. They’ve become part of the everyday routine here. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Robert Russo (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. It looks like something from a home decor shop. The included pen wore out partway through. Still a solid purchase.
William V. –

Rickey Swanson –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. I do this while listening to music and the time disappears. Worth it despite the small things.
Rosie Carson (verified owner) –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Worth every penny.

Lindsay Berger (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The animal colors are richer than the photos show. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. I’ll be buying more from this shop. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Wendell Hurley –
Small enough to take along on a trip. Everything was bagged and labeled, so setup took five minutes. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. They get used every single day at our house. Very happy with this purchase.
Emily Keane –

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The animal detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. It fits perfectly with the decor in the Family room. Would order again despite the small issues.

I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
