About This Animal Pearl Design
A Animal piece whose whole argument is a stylised creature built from simple rounded forms, shown in profile with a clear silhouette and minimal interior detail, carried in soft muted tones with a single accent colour against a plain ground. Read it from across the room and it is still playful and simple. Simple animal forms work in family spaces because they are recognisable at a glance without being childish. It is aimed at people who would rather buy once and hang it immediately. Designed for nurseries and casual living spaces, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference GH013-7. The forms are reduced to their simplest outline, which is what makes the piece read instantly from across a room Which is a harder thing to draw than it sounds.
simple animal forms work in family spaces because they are recognisable at a glance without being childish. That is why nurseries and casual living spaces is where it does its best work.
DOTZSO builds these pearl kits with the frame included, so there is nothing left to arrange afterwards. The kit ships with the printed canvas, special-shaped pearl drills, the display frame, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and printed instructions.
The frame is the part that changes the maths. Shipping it with the kit removes the second purchase and the measuring that normally follows a finished canvas.
Partial drilling is what separates this from a flat covered canvas — the base artwork stays visible and the pearls sit proud of it.

- Load the pen from the wax caddy and lift the first pearl drill onto the tip.
- Seat the pearl on its symbol, noting that the special shapes sit in a specific direction. Work the focal areas before the surrounding detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there hidden extras needed for the Animal pearl kit with frame?
Yes. The Animal pearl kit with frame ships complete with the display frame and stand shown in the product images, so the piece can go up as soon as it is finished, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference GH013-7.
Is the Animal surface tough enough for daily contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Animal design holds under normal use. This is a display piece rather than a serving surface, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Light contact and normal carrying cause no lift on the Animal surface.
Can the Animal pearl kit with frame get wet?
Keep it out of direct sunlight and dust it with a dry, soft brush — 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 surface is not built for immersion.
Is the Animal artwork partially printed or fully drilled?
This is a partial-drill design: special-shaped pearl drills sit on the focal areas while the printed artwork remains visible underneath. The Animal artwork is drawn so that a stylised creature built from simple rounded forms reads clearly at any distance. The Animal face is drilled as a single continuous field.
Can the Animal pearl kit with frame be done in stages?
Plan for several sessions; the special-shaped drills need slightly more attention than round ones. The Animal design is playful and simple, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It works well as an ongoing project.
Can the Animal design be done with no experience?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the canvas 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. The kit is complete on delivery.

The color shifts in the light are really pretty. Having the frame included saved me a trip to the craft store. If you like Christmas designs, this is a good one to go for. The frame makes it easy to hang right away. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Wendy W. –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. Really elevates the room, the sheen is lovely in the evening light. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. The festive artwork looks great up on the wall. Overall a good experience.

Really happy with how this turned out on our wall. The canvas feels substantial, not thin or flimsy. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. It’s hanging in our the Family room and looks like something from a decor shop. I picked the festive version and the colors are lovely. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Donna B. (verified owner) –
Looks much more expensive once it’s done and hung up. The frame fits the finished piece perfectly, no gaps. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Gabriela K. –
The color shifts in the light are really pretty. The festive pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Really elevates the room, the sheen is lovely in the evening light. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Still a solid purchase.
Flora Hooper (verified owner) –
This pearl design looks elegant without being fussy. Each color was in its own pouch, clearly numbered. Really soothing to focus on one small area at a time. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. I wish the instructions went into a bit more detail for a first-timer. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
Nikki Lovelace (verified owner) –
Bought this to try something other than the usual sparkle and I’m converted. It’s the most grown-up thing I’ve made. The lighter colors are hard to tell apart on the chart. The holiday motif makes it feel special. Still a good kit overall.

The pearl finish on this is what sold me and it does not disappoint. Beads are uniform in size, which makes the rows line up neatly. Looks lovely in the dining room. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Overall a good experience.

I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Looks lovely in the dining room. Would order again despite the small issues.
Lorraine Broderick –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The finish looks consistent from every angle. The holiday artwork is the reason I clicked. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. The tray included is on the small side. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. It’s the first thing people notice when they walk in. Still a good kit overall.

Arrived well packed and ready to start. Gave it to my son as a gift and it was a big hit. The packaging arrived a little dented. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.

Looks much more expensive once it’s done and hung up. It’s hanging in the dining room and looks elegant. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

The pearl finish on this is what sold me and it does not disappoint. Beads are uniform in size so the rows line up neatly. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. The bead color chart could be clearer. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. It fits our decor perfectly, very soft and elegant. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Nelson Nash (verified owner) –
The pearls catch the light in a softer way than standard drills. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. I keep it by my chair and pick it up whenever I have a few minutes. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. I’ll be buying more from this shop. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Joann Mccarthy (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The pearl surface looks lovely in daylight. The pearl finish makes it look much more expensive than it was. The bead color chart could be clearer. Overall a good experience.
Jamal V. (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The holiday palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. The beads have a nice weight, they don’t feel like cheap plastic. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Yvonne Martin (verified owner) –
This was my first pearl kit and I loved the finish. The beads have a nice weight, they don’t feel like cheap plastic. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. It’s the first thing people notice when they come in. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Happy with it, with one small caveat.

This was my first pearl kit and the look is completely different from regular drills. It fits our decor perfectly, soft and understated. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Daniel D. –
This was my first pearl kit and the look is completely different from regular drills. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Susan Jenkins (verified owner) –
The pearls catch the light in a softer way than standard drills. Everything was bagged and labeled, so setup took five minutes. The holiday element makes it feel personal. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. The bead color chart could be clearer. Overall a good experience.
Jan Barnes –
The sheen on the finished piece is gorgeous. The finish is smooth and even with no dull patches. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. It looks far more expensive than it was. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Randall Watkins (verified owner) –
I did this one slowly and really enjoyed the process. Made this as an anniversary gift and it was perfect. The frame is basic, though it does the job. Would still recommend it.
