Why This Dog Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A dog seated facing outward, ears relaxed, coat textured in layered strokes with the muzzle and eyes worked in finer detail forms the subject of this Dog piece, worked in warm tans and creams with darker shading at the ears and back. The character is warm and loyal, and it stays that way at any distance. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. It suits a table that gets used every evening and hosts at weekends. Designed for entryways and family rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD591. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters.
a dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. That is what puts it at home in entryways and family rooms, with the warm tone of the colours carrying the room.
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 pictured, or are parts extra?
Yes. The Dog 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 BD591.
Is the Dog piece reliable once finished?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Dog 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 bond across the Dog face is consistent throughout.
Does the Dog coaster set need dusting often?
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 Dog palette, warm tans and creams tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A quick wipe is normally all the Dog piece needs.
Does the Dog coaster set have complete drill work?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Dog artwork is drawn so that a dog seated facing outward reads clearly at any distance. All of the Dog face is drill-covered.
How does the Dog project break down time-wise?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Dog design is warm and loyal, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Dog piece is easy to spread over several sittings.
Is the Dog coaster set gentle enough for a newcomer?
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 Dog layout is warm and loyal, which helps on a first attempt. All materials are included.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. It’s a charming autumn piece and everyone comments on it. The colors work beautifully with the room. Really glad I bought it.
Janet T. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Sierra H. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Noah H. (verified owner) –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. I love how the autumn colors turned out. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Evelyn S. (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. 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 doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still worth it overall.
Karen A. (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Solid kit, would order again.
CityGirlCrafts (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Still worth it overall.

Came quickly and was packaged really well. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Highly recommend.

Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. If you like autumn designs, this is a good one to go for. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Priya D. –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Still worth it overall.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Each one took me a weekend to finish, quicker than I expected. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful.

Picked this up to try something different and really enjoyed it. Great little housewarming gift. The included pen wore out partway through. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

David Sherman (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. I do a section a night with a podcast on. The puppy detail is impressive up close. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Sung Hudson (verified owner) –
Not my first diamond painting, but one of my favorites. Each one took me a quiet Sunday to finish, quicker than I expected. The drills clicked into place without needing much pressure. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Really happy with this one.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath.
