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.
