Why This Butterfly Set Earns Its Place on the Table
Here the Butterfly motif is built around a butterfly with wings held open, each panel showing graded colour from deep centre to translucent edge, antennae and body picked out in fine detail, carried by iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The result reads as delicate and alive — considered rather than busy. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD479-OPP. Wing panels are worked as separate colour zones, so the shimmer shifts as you move past the finished piece Put simply, butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it.
butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. In hallways and entryways the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting it.
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
Will I need to buy anything else to finish this coaster set?
Yes. The Butterfly 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 BD479-OPP.
Is the drilling on the Butterfly design likely to loosen?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Butterfly 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 resin drills bond firmly across the Butterfly pattern.
Is the Butterfly coaster set straightforward to look after?
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 Butterfly palette, iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid dishwashers entirely for the Butterfly piece.
How much bare surface does the Butterfly coaster set have?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Butterfly artwork is drawn so that a butterfly with wings held open reads clearly at any distance. The Butterfly pattern is applied across the entire surface.
Is the Butterfly coaster set a big time commitment?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Butterfly design is delicate and alive, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Butterfly layout is easy to put down and pick up again.
Can someone with no craft background do the Butterfly coaster set?
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 Butterfly layout is delicate and alive, which helps on a first attempt. The kit is ready to work on arrival.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Christopher C. (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Still worth it overall.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.
Jing B. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The fall palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Worth every penny.

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. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat.

Jack N. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. The autumn pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Great value for what you get. Great kit, no complaints.

Rachel M. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I did this with my sister-in-law on the weekends and we both got into it. Would make a great gift too.
Kimberly B. (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. The fall palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. I did this with my sister-in-law on the weekends and we both got into it. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.

Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. The fall subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. I did this with my niece on the weekends and we both got into it. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Miguel Lynch –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. Surprisingly calming, even for someone with a short attention span. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
