Why This Christmas Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The Christmas artwork on this canvas frames a decorated fir tree with baubles, ribbon and a star topper, snow settling across the branches and a scatter of gifts at the base, worked in deep forest green and cherry red with gold accents on a soft white ground. The overall character is festive and nostalgic rather than theatrical. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. It suits a table that gets used every evening and hosts at weekends. Designed for December decorating and holiday hosting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD581.

a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. In practice that means the finished piece sits comfortably in December decorating and holiday hosting, where the festive character of the palette does the decorating for you.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns its place in the room. Alongside the canvas you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
What makes this a working set rather than a display piece is underneath – a cork backing that takes the moisture before it reaches the furniture.
Matched drills across all 6 pieces mean the set looks deliberate when stacked or spread out.

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 the set at an easy pace, then leave it on the table rather than boxing it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set complete as shipped for the Christmas design?
Yes. The Christmas 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 BD581.
Does the Christmas design stay intact with everyday wear?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Christmas 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 drilling on the Christmas piece stays level over time.
What is the routine care for the Christmas 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 Christmas palette, deep forest green and cherry red tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Skip solvent cleaners, which can cloud the Christmas resin.
Does the Christmas artwork have unworked sections?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Christmas artwork is drawn so that a decorated fir tree with baubles reads clearly at any distance. The Christmas piece has a uniform drilled finish.
How many evenings will the Christmas design take?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Christmas design is festive and nostalgic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Break it into short sessions and it never feels long.
What experience does the Christmas coaster set assume?
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 Christmas layout is festive and nostalgic, which helps on a first attempt. Nothing else needs ordering.

I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Overall a good experience.
Kayla Link (verified owner) –
My daughter chose this one for us to work on together. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. It was easy to pick up and put down without losing my place. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Still a good kit overall.
Rufus Beach (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The cork base means no scratches on our wood table. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. The holiday palette works really well with the design. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. The Christmas palette works really well with the design. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Jonathan Ward (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The drills clicked into place without needing much pressure. Each color was in its own pouch, clearly numbered. It’s the kind of hobby that makes an evening feel well spent. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. The overall look is clean and cohesive. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Catherine H. –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Still a solid purchase.
Deborah S. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The Christmas subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Colors match the listing photo really closely. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Really happy with the end result. Overall a good experience.
Javier N. –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Christopher G. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. A useful gift that people actually keep out. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Overall a good experience.
Sheryl Bergeron (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The Christmas palette works really well with the design. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I did a little at a time and it never felt like a slog. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Dianne Mayo (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Kelli Bowman (verified owner) –
I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. It’s the kind of thing people ask about when they see it. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Courtney Grimes (verified owner) –
This was exactly the kind of project I needed this month. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. The tray was smaller than I’d like for a big session. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Violet Stafford (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Some colors had very few spare drills. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Nancy S. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Would order again despite the small issues.
Lucy Montoya (verified owner) –
I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. The tray was smaller than I’d like for a big session. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. Would buy again; the notes are minor.
Vincent Perkins (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. Each one took me a couple of hours to finish, quicker than I expected. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. A useful gift that people actually keep out. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Marcus Rowe (verified owner) –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. My daughter wants one now after seeing mine. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
RainyDayRhonda –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Vincent Owen (verified owner) –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. They make the whole table look more put together. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
