Why This Bear Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Bear design shows a bear in profile with a heavy coat rendered in layered strokes, rounded muzzle and sturdy stance. The colour work runs through deep brown and cream coat tones against a soft woodland ground — an overall feel that is steady and warm, never busy. Bear portraits suit woodland-themed rooms and children's spaces alike. It is designed for regular use in a busy house, not occasional display. Designed for woodland-themed rooms and children's spaces, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD470. The coat layering follows the body's curve, which is what gives the bear its weight That is the detail that separates this from a generic Bear print.
bear portraits suit woodland-themed rooms and children's spaces alike. The steady colouring is what allows it to sit in woodland-themed rooms and children's spaces without dominating.
Every DOTZSO diamond painting kit is built for people who want the make to feel calm and the result to be something they actually use. Contents: colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, sorting tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated step-by-step instructions.
The construction is deliberately simple: anti-slip body, cork backing, seated drill surface. That combination is what keeps the set out of a drawer.
The set runs to 6 coasters, each on the same cork-backed base for a consistent feel in the hand.

How to Make It
- Unroll the canvas on a flat surface and let it settle under something weighted if it has been rolled tight.
- 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 coaster at a time rather than moving across the whole set.
- Complete all coasters, then press each finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Finally, leave the set on the table for a few hours before first use so the drills settle fully.
Complete the set over a few quiet evenings, then put it to work — these are made to be handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set in the listing the same as what is delivered?
Yes. The Bear coaster set ships complete with the stand shown in the product images, so the coasters have somewhere to live when they are not in use, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference BD470.
Is the Bear design robust once the sealing step is done?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Bear design holds under normal use. The cork-backed base is what stops condensation reaching the table, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Light contact and normal carrying cause no lift on the Bear surface.
How do I keep the Bear surface dust free?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge them or put them through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Bear palette, deep brown and cream coat tones against a soft woodland ground tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Keeping the Bear piece dust-free is the whole routine.
Is the Bear surface fully worked?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Bear artwork is drawn so that a bear in profile with a heavy coat rendered in layered strokes reads clearly at any distance. The Bear pattern is applied across the entire surface.
Is the Bear design a weekend project?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Bear design is steady and warm, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It works well as an ongoing project.
Would I manage the Bear design with no experience?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the cork-backed base and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Bear layout is steady and warm, which helps on a first attempt. All components arrive together.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Overall a good experience.
Charlotte L. –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.

Small enough to take along on a trip. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. They stack away neatly when I want the table clear. The cork on one had a small rough patch. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Steve Ramsey (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. The set stacks neatly in the holder on the shelf. The wolf pattern is what made me choose this one. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Stewart Hardy (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. They live on the side table and look good there. The included pen wore out partway through. Would still recommend it.
Kathleen London (verified owner) –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. This one might be my favorite finish yet. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Mackenzie V. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. It’s a charming fall piece and everyone comments on it. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Would order again despite the small issues.
Willis Sosa (verified owner) –
These are the first coasters I’ve made and I’m sold on the format. The adhesive held firmly without any lifting at the edges. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Still a solid purchase.
Geoffrey Thornton –
I ordered this the day after finishing my last project. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Something about placing the drills is very settling. Still glad I ordered it overall.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. Something about placing the drills is very settling. I’ve already had several people ask where it came from. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Patty Dunn (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Leigh Wells (verified owner) –
I picked these up to add something handmade to the coffee table. They stack away neatly when I want the table clear. I went with the woodland version and the colors are lovely. The wax was a little stiff at first. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Wanda Davidson –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. Would order again despite the small issues.
Roscoe Fraser (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. I did this with my son on the weekends and we both got into it. Worth it despite the small things.
Paulette Hughes (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. I went with the wolf version and the colors are lovely. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Maurice Henry (verified owner) –
These are my favorite style of kit to give away. We actually use them every day, not just display them. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. Still a solid purchase.
Joey Haynes (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The instructions were short but covered everything I needed. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. Gave it to my grandmother as a gift and it was a big hit. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Marissa Hunt (verified owner) –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Tessa Rose –
These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. The set looks cohesive and well made on the shelf. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Sophie Schwartz (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Imogene Spears (verified owner) –
Been eyeing this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. The drills are uniform and sit flat with no gaps. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. The wolf palette works really well with the design. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. The multi-placer tip took some practice. The end result made all the evenings worth it. Would order again despite the small issues.
Tommie Potter (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. This one might be my favorite finish yet. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. Would order again despite the small issues.
Jan Winters (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. The kit came complete, nothing extra needed from the craft store. The canvas print is sharp and the symbols are legible. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. It makes a lovely gift and arrives nicely packaged. The packaging arrived a little dented. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Miranda Spears (verified owner) –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Lola Hudson (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. I work on it after dinner and it helps me switch off. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Still a solid purchase.
Gayle Feldman (verified owner) –
Saw a finished version online and tracked down this kit the same day. I chose this one for the woodland look. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. I’d recommend it with that one note.
