Why This Christmas Set Earns Its Place on the Table
Here the Christmas motif is built around a decorated fir tree with baubles, ribbon and a star topper, snow settling across the branches and a scatter of gifts at the base, carried by deep forest green and cherry red with gold accents on a soft white ground. The result reads as festive and nostalgic — considered rather than busy. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for December decorating and holiday hosting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD665. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. The baubles are worked in brighter drills than the foliage, which is what makes the tree read as lit from within.
a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. In December decorating and holiday hosting the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting it.
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.

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
What is actually in the box for this Christmas coaster set?
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 BD665.
Is the Christmas coaster set robust in normal conditions?
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. Nothing about the Christmas finish is fragile once it has been sealed.
Can I clean the Christmas coaster set without damaging the 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 Christmas palette, deep forest green and cherry red tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A light pass is enough; the Christmas finish resists marking.
Is the Christmas coaster set drilled across the whole surface?
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. Nothing on the Christmas face is left untreated.
What time should I set aside for the Christmas coaster set?
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. Working the Christmas design in stages keeps it enjoyable.
What would a beginner struggle with on the Christmas design?
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. No separate tools are required.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Lorraine Gomez (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. It became my end-of-day wind-down. One coaster was slightly thicker than the others. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. Good enough that I’d buy another.

I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. Nothing was crushed or bent in transit. It’s the kind of task that quiets a busy mind. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Would recommend it with those notes.
Gloria Carrier –
Small enough to take along on a trip. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Jeffery Walton (verified owner) –
Saw a finished version online and tracked down this kit the same day. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I got through it faster than I thought I would. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. The packaging was a little plain for a gift. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Will Falk (verified owner) –
These are my favorite style of kit to give away. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Margo Kennedy (verified owner) –
I’ve finished four of these now and this might be my favorite. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Marta Benitez (verified owner) –
I bought two sets so I could gift one and keep one. The edges are smooth, so nothing catches on a cloth when I wipe them. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. It’s the sort of object that makes a room feel more finished. Worth it despite the small things.
Sandra E. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still worth it overall.
Melissa D. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Nikki Dennis (verified owner) –
This showed up right when I needed a quiet evening activity. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Maggie Weeks (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. I did this with my coworker on the weekends and we both got into it. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Overall a good experience.
Joanna Brown (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. Gave it to my brother as a gift and it was a big hit. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Still a solid purchase.
Tammy Atkinson (verified owner) –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. It’s easy to pick up and put down, which suits my schedule. The packaging arrived a little dented. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Verna Luna –
These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
