Why This Butterfly Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
Look at this Butterfly design and 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 what registers first, with iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges carrying the rest. The tone is delicate and alive throughout. 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 fits a kitchen that is used hard and hosted from often. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP14-1. 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 why the piece sits calmly in a room rather than announcing itself.
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 fits hallways and entryways on its own terms, which is the only test that matters.
Each DOTZSO tray kit is put together so nothing is missing and the finished piece takes hot mugs and plates. Alongside the tray you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and 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.
Drilling the face in full is what gives the tray its solid, finished feel.

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.
Go through it one colour block at a time, then let the finished tray earn its keep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anything for the Butterfly wooden tray kit purchased separately?
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 CP14-1.
Will the Butterfly wooden tray kit look the same after a year of use?
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. The Butterfly finish is designed to be used, not just looked at.
How do I protect the Butterfly finish long term?
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. The Butterfly finish prefers dry methods to wet ones.
Is the Butterfly surface fully worked, or is it a partial-drill piece?
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 part of the Butterfly face is left as bare board.
Does the Butterfly wooden tray kit suit someone with limited free time?
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 builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
What is the largest Butterfly option available?
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 9.8×13.8 in format. Reference CP14-1.
