Why This Bell Pendant Earns Its Place on Display
This Bell piece is about a pair of bells hung from a ribbon with a bow at the crown, clappers visible below the rims and highlights catching the curved metal, and it is finished in warm brass and antique gold with rich red ribbon against a deep green ground. Expect traditional and bright, not spectacle. Bell imagery belongs to the older, more traditional end of Christmas decor, and the ribbon is what ties it to the season. It is for makers who want a seasonal project they can finish in a few evenings. Designed for Christmas door and wall decor, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference GH012-3.

DOTZSO makes these pendants for people who would rather hang something made than something bought. What is in the box: the printed pendant blank, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy, a hanging ribbon and a pictorial sheet.
The pendant blank is the part that matters. It is rigid enough to hold its shape on a door or a branch without curling at the edges.
The whole face is worked, so no section looks like an afterthought.

How to Make It
- Lay the printed pendant blank flat and let it settle before starting.
- 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 colour block at a time around the blank.
- Continue until the face is covered, then press the finished surface flat with a book to seat every drill.
- Attach the ribbon loop once the surface is sealed, then hang the piece.
Complete it over a few sessions, then hang the piece and leave it up through the season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anything in the hanging pendant kit sold separately?
Yes. The Bell hanging pendant kit ships complete with the ribbon loop ready to attach, so the piece can hang as soon as the surface is sealed, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference GH012-3.
Does the Bell hanging pendant kit stand up to being used rather than just displayed?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Bell design holds under normal use. It is built for indoor use; a covered porch is fine, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. The Bell surface tolerates being picked up and moved.
Does the Bell hanging pendant kit need special care?
Dust with a dry, soft brush; keep it out of prolonged direct sun and rain — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Bell palette, warm brass and antique gold tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A microfibre cloth works well on the Bell surface.
Does the Bell artwork rely on printed areas as well as drills?
The face is drilled across the whole blank, so the finished piece has complete coverage without bare board showing. The Bell artwork is drawn so that a pair of bells hung from a ribbon with a bow at the crown reads clearly at any distance. The Bell surface is worked as one continuous piece.
What is the pace like on the Bell hanging pendant kit?
Roughly one to two evenings for most people, depending on the size of the blank. The Bell design is traditional and bright, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Bell pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
How much practice does the Bell hanging pendant kit need?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the pendant blank and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Bell layout is traditional and bright, which helps on a first attempt. The kit is complete on delivery.

Really charming little project with a big payoff. The design reads clearly even from across the room. It makes washing dishes a little nicer. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Would order again despite the small issues.

I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. The edges are smooth, no sharp bits. I made several and hung them along the porch. Would have liked a small suction hook included. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Such a nice little project to have on the go. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The festive pattern is what made me choose this one. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The hanging string is a little short. Happy with it, with one small caveat.

I hung this in the kitchen window and the light through it is lovely. The colors are vivid when the sun comes through. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. This is a lovely holiday piece for the price. One hanging loop was slightly bent in transit. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Overall a good experience.
Lewis Palmer (verified owner) –
The sunlight through the drills is gorgeous in the morning. The colors come through beautifully when the sun hits. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. The work is repetitive in a good way. It catches the light in a way photos don’t do justice. The festive element makes it feel personal. One edge was slightly rough before I sanded it. Would recommend it with those notes.

Made a few for gifts and kept one for myself. The design reads clearly even from across the room. One bag of drills had come open in transit. This is a lovely Christmas piece for the price. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Ryan Bagley (verified owner) –
This showed up right when I needed a quiet evening activity. It’s the piece everyone asks about when they visit. Shipping took a few days longer than I expected. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Roosevelt Bradley (verified owner) –
These are such charming little pieces. Great value considering how many hours of enjoyment it gave me. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Leo L. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. The festive palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Gave it to my mother-in-law as a gift and it was a big hit. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Still worth it overall.
SparkleMom (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The edges are smooth, no sharp bits. I love how the holiday colors turned out. It’s on the bathroom window and the morning light is lovely. Wish there were two hanging holes for stability. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Valeria Waters –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. Worth the time it took. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

I put one in every window in the front room. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. It’s lighter than I expected, moves a lot in a draft. It adds a bit of color to a plain window. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Audrey Newton (verified owner) –
I have one hanging by the back door and it makes me smile every day. The release paper peeled back cleanly without tearing. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. The colors work together better than I expected. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Denise Wagner (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. Great value for what you get. One bag of drills had come open in transit. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Matthew A. (verified owner) –
Perfect size for a small window or a rearview mirror. Great as a small thank-you gift. It’s lighter than I expected, moves a lot in a draft. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Diego K. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. I put one in the window over the sink, it makes washing up nicer. The hanging string it comes with is a bit short. I’d recommend it with that one note.
