Why This Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
Here the Cat motif is built around a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward, fur rendered in overlapping short strokes across the flank and chest, carried by warm greys and soft browns with bright eye highlights against a tonal background. The result reads as calm and companionable — considered rather than busy. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for bedrooms and home offices, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer.

DOTZSO makes these sets for households that would rather use something handmade than store it. In the box: colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and step-by-step pictures.
Built to be used rather than admired, the set pairs an anti-slip body with a cork backing and a surface pressed flat after completion.
Across all 6 coasters the drill shades are held constant, so nothing looks out of place.

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 it whenever suits, and then treat the set as a working object, not a display piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set ready to use straight away?
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 BD645.
How well does the Cat artwork tolerate being picked up and moved?
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. Nothing about the Cat finish is fragile once it has been sealed.
What is recommended for the Cat surface?
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. The Cat palette holds up better kept out of strong sun.
How does the Cat coaster set handle background areas?
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 surface is worked as one continuous piece.
How much spare time does the Cat design need?
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 layout is easy to put down and pick up again.
Is the Cat project simple enough to learn on?
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. You can start as soon as it arrives.
