Why This Cat Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Cat design shows a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward, fur rendered in overlapping short strokes across the flank and chest. The colour work runs through warm greys and soft browns with bright eye highlights against a tonal background — an overall feel that is calm and companionable, never busy. Cat portraits sell because the owner already has a relationship with the subject — the canvas just holds it. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for bedrooms and home offices, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD473. 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. The calm colouring is what allows it to sit in bedrooms and home offices without dominating.
DOTZSO builds these kits for slow evenings, with a finish good enough to leave out on the table. Box contents run to a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and a pictorial reference sheet.
Nothing here is decorative-only. The base grips, the cork absorbs, and the drill surface is pressed flat so it survives ordinary use.
The 6-piece format covers seating for a full table without buying twice.

- Comfort-grip applicator pen
- Wax caddy

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.
Work through it gradually, then let the finished coasters take their place in daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all the parts of this Cat coaster set included in one box?
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 BD473.
Does the Cat piece need re-sealing later on?
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 surface tolerates being picked up and moved.
How do I remove dust from the Cat coaster set?
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. There is no need for anything stronger than a damp cloth.
Does the Cat design rely on printed detail anywhere?
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 artwork is fully drilled rather than partly printed.
How long from start to finish on the Cat coaster set?
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. Longer if you prefer to work the Cat design slowly.
How much skill does the Cat design need?
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. No extra purchases are required.
