About This Soldier Pearl Design
Here the Soldier motif is built around a toy soldier standing to attention in a full dress uniform, tall shako hat, braided tunic and polished boots, a small drum or rifle held at the side, carried by signal red tunic and black shako with gold braid against a pale winter ground. The result reads as storybook and nostalgic — considered rather than busy. Toy soldiers carry the nutcracker tradition, which is why they sell as decor rather than as novelty. It is aimed at people who would rather buy once and hang it immediately. Designed for Christmas displays and nursery decor, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference GH013-8. The braid and buttons are placed in the final pass over the flat red, which is what gives the uniform its form rather than a block of colour Which keeps the design honest about what it is.
toy soldiers carry the nutcracker tradition, which is why they sell as decor rather than as novelty. Which is the reason it works as well in Christmas displays and nursery decor as it does anywhere else.
DOTZSO designed this one for slow sessions and immediate display, with the frame included. In the box: printed canvas, special-shaped pearl drills, a display frame, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and step-by-step pictures.
The pearl surface gets the attention, but the inclusion of the frame does the work. Nothing is left to arrange afterwards.
This is a partial-drill design: pearls sit on the focal areas while the printed artwork stays visible beneath.

How to Make It
- Lay the printed canvas flat and let it settle before starting.
- Match the first symbol to its pearl drill colour using the printed key.
- 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.
- When the design is complete, press the surface flat to seat every pearl evenly.
- Fit the canvas into the display frame and set it on the stand once the pearls are seated.
Finish it unhurried, then frame it and watch the pearl surface shift as the light moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the tools for the Soldier pearl kit with frame included as well as the project?
Yes. The Soldier 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 GH013-8.
Does the Soldier finish stay intact under regular use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Soldier 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. It is a working finish rather than a display-only one.
What care keeps the Soldier design at its best?
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 Soldier palette, signal red tunic and black shako tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A soft brush reaches the texture between drills.
Does the Soldier design leave any part untreated?
This is a partial-drill design: special-shaped pearl drills sit on the focal areas while the printed artwork remains visible underneath. The Soldier artwork is drawn so that a toy soldier standing to attention in a full dress uniform reads clearly at any distance. The Soldier surface is treated as one complete unit.
How long does the Soldier pearl kit with frame take for a beginner?
Plan for several sessions; the special-shaped drills need slightly more attention than round ones. The Soldier design is storybook and nostalgic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Progress on the Soldier piece is visibly steady.
Is the Soldier project a good place to start?
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 Soldier layout is storybook and nostalgic, which helps on a first attempt. The set is complete as shipped.
