Why This Reindeer Pendant Earns Its Place on Display
This Reindeer piece was drawn around a reindeer standing in profile with antlers held high, coat worked in layered strokes across the shoulder and haunch, breath suggested by a soft mist at the muzzle, then coloured in warm fawn and chestnut with deep brown shading against a cold winter blue. It keeps a wintry and gentle note from edge to edge. Reindeer imagery suits the quieter side of Christmas decor — it works long past December because the animal carries no ornament overhead. It is for anyone tired of shop-bought ornaments that shed glitter by January. Designed for Christmas displays and mantel styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference ZSH009-1. Reindeer imagery suits the quieter side of Christmas decor — it works long past December because the animal carries no ornament overhead Which is the harder half of the job, and it is done here.

In practice that means the finished piece sits comfortably in Christmas displays and mantel styling, where the wintry character of the palette does the decorating for you.
Every DOTZSO hanging pendant kit is built for people who want the making to be calm and the finished piece to hang. Alongside the pendant blank you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy, a ribbon and pictorial instructions.
The detail most pendant kits miss is the seal. It is what keeps the piece presentable in season two.
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.
Finish it at an easy pace, then let the pendant take its place on the tree or the wall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the hanging pendant kit supplied ready to work on, with no gaps?
Yes. The Reindeer 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 ZSH009-1.
How does the Reindeer hanging pendant kit stand up month to month?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Reindeer 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. It holds its finish as long as it is not left soaking.
What is the simplest way to care for the Reindeer 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 Reindeer palette, warm fawn and chestnut tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads, which would dull the Reindeer surface.
Is the Reindeer hanging pendant kit drilled from edge to edge?
The face is drilled across the whole blank, so the finished piece has complete coverage without bare board showing. The Reindeer artwork is drawn so that a reindeer standing in profile with antlers held high reads clearly at any distance. The Reindeer artwork is fully drilled rather than partly printed.
Does the Reindeer hanging pendant kit work well as an ongoing project?
Roughly one to two evenings for most people, depending on the size of the blank. The Reindeer design is wintry and gentle, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Reindeer layout allows you to stop and resume freely.
Is the Reindeer hanging pendant kit a reasonable starting project?
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 Reindeer layout is wintry and gentle, which helps on a first attempt. The pack has everything for the project.

Came quickly and was packaged really well. The chain/string it came with is sturdy enough for daily use. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.

Really charming little project with a big payoff. I picked the holiday version and the colors are lovely. The chain/string it came with is sturdy enough for daily use. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Solid kit, would order again.

Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. The festive palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Five stars from me.
Rachel C. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Vanessa J. (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Nice and light, won’t pull on the curtain rod. The drill coverage near the hanging hole is a little sparse. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Overall a good experience.
Lucas B. (verified owner) –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. Good size, noticeable but not overwhelming in the window. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. The festive design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Five stars from me.
Evelyn T. (verified owner) –
Perfect size for a small window or a rearview mirror. It fits perfectly with the decor in the living room. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Overall a good experience.
Brian L. (verified owner) –
The way the light comes through this is honestly my favorite part. Gave a few as winter gifts and they were a big hit. Worth every penny.
Charlotte L. (verified owner) –
I made these as holiday ornaments and they looked lovely on the tree. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Will be back for more.
Xavier C. –
I put one in every window in the front room. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. The colors work beautifully with the room. Really glad I bought it.
Harper V. –
The sunlight through the drills is gorgeous in the morning. Both sides are finished, so it looks good from inside and outside. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. If you like holiday designs, this is a good one to go for. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. It’s on the bathroom window and the morning light is lovely. Loved it, no regrets.

I have one hanging by the back door and it makes me smile every day. The edges are smooth, no sharp bits. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. The festive palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Great kit, no complaints.

I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Looks lovely hanging in the front window. Would make a great gift too.
Courtney V. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I love how the festive colors turned out. I did this with my son on the weekends and we both got into it. The colors work beautifully with the room. I’ll be ordering more.
Andrew G. –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. It hangs straight, doesn’t twist or curl to one side. Gave a few as fall gifts and they were a big hit. The festive subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. I’ll be ordering more.

I put one in every window in the front room. It hangs by the back door and gets a comment from everyone. Loved it, no regrets.
Marie H. (verified owner) –
Made a few for gifts and kept one for myself. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Wish there were two hanging holes for stability. Still a solid purchase.
Nicole V. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Five stars from me.
