Why This Butterfly Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
A Butterfly layout organised around 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, pitched in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The character stays delicate and alive rather than asking for attention. 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 is made for anyone who serves breakfast in bed and wants the tray to be worth looking at. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer.

butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. Left out in hallways and entryways, it keeps the delicate note going without any effort from you.
Every DOTZSO wooden tray kit is built for people who want the making to be restful and the finished tray to be used. Inside the box you get a printed wooden tray with cut-in handles, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
The tray body is the part that matters. The printed surface is sealed after the drills are seated, so the tray takes hot mugs and plates without marking.
The tray face is drilled in full, so the pattern reads completely across the base.

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 over a few evenings, then put the tray straight to work — it is designed for daily service, not shelf duty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Butterfly wooden tray kit sold as a complete kit rather than in pieces?
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.
Is the Butterfly design robust once the sealing step is done?
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. Sealing is the step that decides the Butterfly finish’s lifespan.
What products are safe on the Butterfly finish?
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. Nothing abrasive should touch the Butterfly surface.
Is the Butterfly design worked edge to edge?
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. The Butterfly pattern is worked uniformly, with no gaps left.
How does the Butterfly design fit around a busy week?
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 design is paced, not rushed.
How do I match a Butterfly size to my room?
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 CP14.
