Why This Bohemian Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
Built on a layered boho composition of arches, fringed forms and repeated geometric motifs arranged in loose horizontal bands and finished in terracotta, sand and deep rust with flashes of teal across a warm neutral ground, this Bohemian piece lands in a earthy and relaxed register that suits a working room. Boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. It appeals to anyone who wants a piece of homeware with a story attached. Designed for living rooms with a warm, natural palette, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP12. Boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work That is the reasoning behind the whole composition.
boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. In living rooms with a warm, natural palette the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting it.
With DOTZSO, the kit contents and the pacing are set so the whole thing stays enjoyable. You receive the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and clear pictorial 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.
Full drill coverage across the tray face is what gives it an even finish rather than bare wood showing through.

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.
Finish it at an easy pace, then let the tray carry breakfast rather than look at it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bohemian wooden tray kit arrive ready to work on?
Yes. The Bohemian 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 CP12.
Is the Bohemian wooden tray kit built to be handled, or is it delicate?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Bohemian 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. The Bohemian piece is robust once the final pass is complete.
Does the Bohemian wooden tray kit need dusting often?
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 Bohemian palette, terracotta, sand and deep rust tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Skip solvent cleaners, which can cloud the Bohemian resin.
Will the Bohemian wooden tray kit look complete when finished?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Bohemian artwork is drawn so that a layered boho composition of arches reads clearly at any distance. All of the Bohemian face is drill-covered.
How many hours does the Bohemian wooden tray kit represent?
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 Bohemian design is earthy and relaxed, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Bohemian design suits working one colour block at a time.
Are the Bohemian sizes clearly listed?
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 7.8×11.8 in format. Reference CP12.

I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. I keep remotes and coasters on mine when it’s not in use. Still worth it overall.
Stacy N. (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. Wood feels solid, much better than the thin pressed board I’ve seen. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Great value for what you get. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Still a solid purchase.
Michelle Bradshaw (verified owner) –
I’ve wanted one of these trays for ages and finally made one. Solid wood, much better than the pressed board versions. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. The handles make it genuinely useful, not just decorative. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Vivian Corona (verified owner) –
This is a genuinely nice kit for the money. The tray has real weight to it, feels like serveware. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. It’s organized the whole surface with one addition. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Jasmine M. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a housewarming gift and it was a hit. Made one for my mother-in-law and she was delighted. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Overall a good experience.
Megan W. (verified owner) –
Heavier and nicer in person than it looked online. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. Made one for my mother-in-law and she was delighted. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. Still worth it overall.
Viola Acevedo (verified owner) –
Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. I’d have liked it a size larger. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Curtis Arellano (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The wood arrived with one small scuff on the side. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Carla Carlson (verified owner) –
The handles make it feel like real serveware, not just a craft. It’s organized the whole surface with one addition. It’s slightly heavier than I expected. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Ronnie Kramer –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Handles are sturdy, I can carry a full mug without worrying. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. I keep it by my chair and pick it up whenever I have a few minutes. Would order again despite the small issues.
Eva Colbert (verified owner) –
This came recommended in a crafting group I follow. The wood is thick and sanded smooth, no splinters. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. I keep remotes and candles on it when it’s not in use. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Julie Hahn (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Phillip Prince (verified owner) –
I’ve wanted one of these trays for ages and finally made one. The drilled panel is recessed so it’s protected from spills. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. I take it on the porch in the evenings when the weather is nice. It’s on our ottoman and gets used for coffee every morning. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Olivia L. –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. Gave it as a housewarming gift and it was the favorite present. Wish it came with a protective finish already applied. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Margaret Roth (verified owner) –
Picked this up for our coffee table and it ties the room together. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. I finished it faster than I expected because I kept coming back to it. Wish it came with a protective finish already applied. It’s practical and it looks good doing the job. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Emil Becker –
The handles make it feel like real serveware, not just a craft. The tweezers included were actually good quality. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Would still recommend it.
William Jennings (verified owner) –
I’ve wanted a tray like this for a while. I keep remotes and candles on it when it’s not in use. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Overall a good experience.
Louis Bennett (verified owner) –
Heavier and nicer in person than it looked online. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. It’s my screen-free hour in the evening. It’s become a fixture in the living room. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
PrairiePainter (verified owner) –
Picked this up before a long flight and it saved the trip. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Gloria Mccormick –
Finished it over a weekend and it looks great on the ottoman. It’s organized the whole surface with one addition. One small scuff on the wood when it arrived. Still a good kit overall.
