Why This Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward, fur rendered in overlapping short strokes across the flank and chest forms the subject of this Cat piece, worked in warm greys and soft browns with bright eye highlights against a tonal background. The character is calm and companionable, and it stays that way at any distance. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. It is for anyone who wants a coaster set that quietly matches the room. Designed for bedrooms and home offices, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD676. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it.
cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. Placed in bedrooms and home offices, it reads as part of the room rather than an addition to it.
The DOTZSO approach here is simple: an unhurried make, and a set that goes straight into daily use. Everything ships in one box — the colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated guidance.
Coasters live hard lives. That is why the body is cork-backed and the surface is fully seated after the drills go down – the set is meant to be picked up, not protected.
With 6 coasters in the box, a full table is covered from one purchase.

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.
Finish it in your own time, then leave the set out where it will be picked up and used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cat coaster set a complete set for the money?
Yes. The Cat 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 BD676.
Does the Cat design stay intact with everyday wear?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat 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. The Cat piece is robust once the final pass is complete.
Does the Cat finish need any special treatment?
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 Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A quick wipe is normally all the Cat piece needs.
Is the Cat design a full-coverage project?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. The Cat piece reads as complete once the drilling is done.
How quickly can the Cat design be completed?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Cat pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
Is the Cat coaster set easy enough for a casual crafter?
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 Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. The pack is self-contained.

Not my first diamond painting, but one of my favorites. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. The cat subject matter is right up my street. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. Still worth it overall.

These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. The cat pattern is what made me choose this one. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Thomas Santos (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Theodore Haskins (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. The work is repetitive in a good way. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Kent Bernard (verified owner) –
I picked these up to add something handmade to the coffee table. The pen grip stayed comfortable through long sessions. I did a little at a time and it never felt like a slog. My friends all want one now. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Alyssa Dutton (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. It’s the kind of thing people ask about when they see it. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Eleanor Simmons (verified owner) –
Been doing these for about two years and this kit is solid. The finished piece looks far better than I expected. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Donald B. (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Damon Baldwin –
Bought this as a reward for getting through a busy stretch at work. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Ethan S. –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Would order again despite the small issues.
Ariana Rhodes (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Susan Ewing (verified owner) –
Grabbed this on a whim after a long week. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Surprisingly calming, even for someone with a short attention span. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Alice G. (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Luz Shields (verified owner) –
These are the perfect size to actually finish. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Tim Armstrong (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. The adhesive picked up lint over the days I worked on it. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. I’m proud to have this on display. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Logan F. (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The kitty pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Karen H. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Ivan Broderick (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. The tray included is on the small side. Overall happy, just a few small things.
