Why This Butterfly Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
What the design does with a butterfly with wings held open, each panel showing graded colour from deep centre to translucent edge, antennae and body picked out in fine detail is the point, and iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges is where the colour settles. A delicate and alive piece, in the plain sense. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It suits a household where practical pieces also have to look deliberate. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP14-2.

butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It slots into hallways and entryways because the delicate palette is doing the talking.
DOTZSO assembles these kits so the process stays restful and the result is genuinely functional. The kit ships with the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and printed instructions.
A tray stays out on the counter if it can take a hot mug. That is what the sealed surface and solid body are for.
The face is fully drilled, so the surface reflects evenly when a plate is set on it.

How to Make It
- Lay the printed tray face 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 rather than across the whole tray.
- Continue until the face is covered, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seal the surface fully before the tray goes into service, or the drills will lift under a plate.
Take your time over it, then start using the tray instead of saving it for guests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wooden tray kit supplied ready to work on, with no gaps?
Yes. The Butterfly wooden tray kit ships complete with the wooden tray and cut-in handles; you drill the printed face and then the tray goes into service, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference CP14-2.
Are the drills on the Butterfly design fixed firmly once completed?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Butterfly design holds under normal use. The surface is sealed, so it handles mugs and plates in normal use. Very hot pans straight from the hob are another matter — use a trivet, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Give the seal a full cure and the Butterfly finish will hold.
Does the Butterfly wooden tray kit need special care?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge it or put it through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Butterfly palette, iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A microfibre cloth works well on the Butterfly surface.
How thorough is the drill coverage on the Butterfly wooden tray kit?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Butterfly artwork is drawn so that a butterfly with wings held open reads clearly at any distance. No background area of the Butterfly design is left bare.
How quickly can the Butterfly design be completed?
Plan for a few sessions rather than one. Working a single colour block at a time is faster than moving across the tray at random. The Butterfly design is delicate and alive, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Butterfly pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
Which Butterfly size suits my table?
The range covers 7.8 × 11.8 in, 9.8 × 13.8 in and 12.2 × 16.1 in, so there is a format for a bedside table or a full dinner service. This listing is the 12.2×16.1 in format. Reference CP14-2.
