Why This Black Astral Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A black cat silhouetted against a star field, tail curled into a crescent, eyes picked out in bright contrast forms the subject of this Black Astral Cat piece, worked in ink black with white and gold star points over a deep violet night ground. The character is mystical and still, and it stays that way at any distance. Celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for Halloween and year-round celestial styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD529. Celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
celestial cat designs bridge Halloween and everyday decor — they stay up long after October. That is what puts it at home in Halloween and year-round celestial styling, with the mystical tone of the colours carrying the room.
Every DOTZSO diamond painting kit is built for people who want the make to feel calm and the result to be something they actually use. Contents: colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, sorting tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated step-by-step instructions.
The construction is deliberately simple: anti-slip body, cork backing, seated drill surface. That combination is what keeps the set out of a drawer.
The set runs to 10 coasters, each on the same cork-backed base for a consistent feel in the hand.

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.
Complete the set over a few quiet evenings, then put it to work — these are made to be handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anything in the coaster set sold separately?
Yes. The Cat 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 BD529.
How resilient is the Cat finish in practice?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat 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. Sealing properly is the whole of the maintenance story here.
Can the Cat coaster set be washed?
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 Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A microfibre cloth works well on the Cat surface.
Does the Cat piece have any printed-only areas?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. Coverage on the Cat piece is consistent edge to edge.
How many evenings will the Cat design take?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Cat pattern builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
Would a beginner manage the Cat 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 Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. All the essentials come in the box.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Solid kit, would order again.
Andre N. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. It fits perfectly with the decor in the front entry. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Sofia N. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Will be back for more.
James E. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. The autumn pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Colors match the listing photo really closely. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. I’ll be ordering more.
William P. (verified owner) –
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. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Overall a good experience.
Charlotte E. –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. I’ll be ordering more.
Heather C. (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Would make a great gift too.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Would definitely buy again.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. I love how the autumn colors turned out. Happy customer here.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Worth every penny.

These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Two thumbs up.

Manuel Shelton (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. The kitty artwork comes together beautifully as you work. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.

Rufus Welch (verified owner) –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. Better than I expected.
Delores Taylor (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Still a solid purchase.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Highly recommend.

Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Some colors had very few spare drills. Still worth it overall.

Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Some colors had very few spare drills. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Garrett S. –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. It fits perfectly with the decor in the bedroom. Great kit, no complaints.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Very happy with this purchase.
Angelo Anderson (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. The set looks cohesive and well made on the shelf. Worth it despite the small things.
Tammy J. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The autumn detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Five stars from me.

Carol G. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Amber M. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. It’s a charming fall piece and everyone comments on it. The colors work beautifully with the room. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Still a solid purchase.
Sofia Ruiz (verified owner) –
I’ve bought from this shop a few times now and this is another good one. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Made a set for my sister and now she wants more. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
Myrtle Alvarez (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. The drills are uniform and sit flat with no gaps. The cat artwork comes together beautifully as you work. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Will be back for more.

Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Gave it to my granddaughter as a gift and it was a big hit. Will be back for more.
