Why This Succulent Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
This one works a rosette succulent seen from above, leaves layered in tightening spiral rows from the outer skirt to a closed centre into a Succulent composition, coloured in muted sage and dusty jade with rose-tipped edges against a soft grey ground. The effect is calm and botanical and unfussy. Succulent motifs suit plant-lovers who want the form without the maintenance, and the muted palette keeps them from reading as novelty. It appeals to anyone who wants a piece of homeware with a story attached. Designed for kitchens and plant-filled rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP10-1. Succulent motifs suit plant-lovers who want the form without the maintenance, and the muted palette keeps them from reading as novelty The colour is not decoration here; it is the structure.
succulent motifs suit plant-lovers who want the form without the maintenance, and the muted palette keeps them from reading as novelty. Which is exactly what a piece meant for kitchens and plant-filled rooms should do.
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 Succulent wooden tray kit ship with the mounting hardware included?
Yes. The Succulent 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 CP10-1.
Will the Succulent wooden tray kit look the same after a year of use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Succulent 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 properly is the whole of the maintenance story here.
Is the Succulent wooden tray kit easy to wipe down?
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 Succulent palette, muted sage and dusty jade tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Handle the Succulent piece with dry hands where possible.
Is the Succulent wooden tray kit a full coverage piece?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Succulent artwork is drawn so that a rosette succulent seen from above reads clearly at any distance. There are no unworked sections on the Succulent piece.
How long will the Succulent wooden tray kit occupy me?
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 Succulent design is calm and botanical, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Succulent design is paced, not rushed.
Is there a size chart for the Succulent range?
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 CP10-1.

The wood base is much sturdier than I expected. Handles make it easy to carry from the kitchen to the couch. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Bought it as a housewarming gift and it was a hit. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Would make a great gift too.
