Why This Christmas Tree Pendant Earns Its Place on Display
A Christmas Tree study built on a decorated tree in full silhouette, tiered branches layered from broad base to tapering tip, hung with baubles and capped with a single bright star. The palette stays in deep spruce green with gold and red ornaments against a warm cream ground, and the piece keeps a warm and nostalgic register throughout. Tree imagery is the most recognisable seasonal motif there is, and the layered greens are what keep it from looking like clip art. It is for anyone tired of shop-bought ornaments that shed glitter by January. Designed for homes and family rooms through December, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference ZSH011-3. The layered tiers are worked in three close greens, which is what gives the tree its depth rather than a flat triangle That is the detail that separates this from a generic Christmas Tree design.
tree imagery is the most recognisable seasonal motif there is, and the layered greens are what keep it from looking like clip art. Placed in homes and family rooms through December, the warm palette does the work and the artwork stays understated.
DOTZSO makes these pendants for people who would rather hang something made than something bought. Contents: printed pendant blank, DOTZSO resin drills, sorting tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy, hanging ribbon and illustrated step-by-step instructions.
The drilled face gets the attention, but the construction does the work. Rigid blank, seated drills, sealed surface, fixed loop.
The pattern covers the entire face, so the pendant looks the same whichever way it turns.

- 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit need anything added before I start?
Yes. The Christmas Tree 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 ZSH011-3.
Does the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit hold together over time?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Christmas Tree 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. Press the surface flat once you finish and the coverage stays put.
What is the best way to dust or clean the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit?
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 Christmas Tree palette, deep spruce green tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Do not leave liquid standing on the Christmas Tree surface.
Does the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit cover the whole face with drills?
The face is drilled across the whole blank, so the finished piece has complete coverage without bare board showing. The Christmas Tree artwork is drawn so that a decorated tree in full silhouette reads clearly at any distance. The Christmas Tree drilling runs the full extent of the face.
Can the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit be finished in a weekend?
Roughly one to two evenings for most people, depending on the size of the blank. The Christmas Tree design is warm and nostalgic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It suits a routine of half an hour at a time.
Can someone new to crafts do the Christmas Tree hanging pendant kit?
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 Christmas Tree layout is warm and nostalgic, which helps on a first attempt. The box contains the full project.

Made a few for gifts and kept one for myself. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Very pleased with how it came together. Took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. Would order again despite the small issues.

Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. Both sides are finished, so it looks good from inside and outside. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. The pen was fine, though I ended up using my own. A good buy, with one or two caveats.

I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Looks lovely hanging in the front window. Took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Perfect size for a small window or a rearview mirror. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. It hangs by the back door and gets a comment from everyone. One edge was slightly rough before I sanded it. Would order again despite the small issues.

So much prettier in person once you get it up in a window. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Wish there were two hanging holes for stability. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Overall a good experience.
Gayle Dailey (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The hanging hole is cleanly finished, no cracking. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. The end result made all the evenings worth it. One edge needed a light sanding. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.

I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. The hanging hardware was included and it’s decent quality. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Ronnie Flowers (verified owner) –
This looks beautiful in the window. The drills arrived clean, not stuck together in clumps. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. It’s subtle in the best way. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Max Anthony (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. Good size, noticeable without overwhelming the window. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. The work never felt like a chore. The drill coverage near the hanging hole is a little sparse. It’s become the little detail I notice every morning. Overall a good experience.
Sherry S. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. The chain/string it came with is sturdy enough for daily use. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Would order again despite the small issues.

This was a fun quick project with a pretty result. The piece is light enough for a suction cup to hold easily. It’s a calm, repetitive hobby and that’s exactly what I wanted. I’d have liked a longer cord option. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Jennifer Reynolds (verified owner) –
I’ve finished four of these now and this might be my favorite. The kit came with a comfortable pen and enough wax for the whole project. I picked it up whenever I had a spare twenty minutes. It’s light enough that a draft moves it around. The festive detail is impressive up close. One is in my office window and it cheers up the space. Happy with it despite the small stuff.

Ordered this as a small pick-me-up and it worked. It makes washing dishes a little nicer. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Daniela B. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. I picked the holiday version and the colors are lovely. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Really happy with the end result. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
PuzzleAndDots (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. The hanging string it comes with is a bit short. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Jeffrey V. (verified owner) –
Lightweight and easy to hang, which I appreciated. Good size, noticeable but not overwhelming in the window. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. Would have liked a small suction hook included. The festive pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

This looks beautiful in the window. Colors are vivid when the sun comes through them. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. I gave these as gifts and everyone was delighted. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. These make sweet little thank-you gifts. Wish there were two hanging holes for stability. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
