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.

Camila T. (verified owner) –
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.
Michael Cahill –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. Loved it, no regrets.
Gayle Fry (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. The wax was a little stiff at first. Nice mindful work that keeps you present. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
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.
Mia Applegate (verified owner) –
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 dog motif is what drew me in. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Olivia Kirk (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. A lovely little purchase.
Wade Nichols (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. One bag of drills had come open in transit. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Wilfred Powers (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The backing grips the table instead of sliding around. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Really pleased with this one.
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.
Jon Rivas (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. This exceeded what I expected.
Veronica Lindsey (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. I finished it faster than I expected because I kept coming back to it. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Two thumbs up from me.
Timothy Helms (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Completely satisfied.
Bob Hart (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. Glad I finally ordered it.
Georgia Sullivan (verified owner) –
I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. The set stacks neatly in the holder on the shelf. A really satisfying project from start to finish. Really glad I bought it.
Antonio Vaughn –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. It makes a lovely gift and arrives nicely packaged. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Emily D. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Highly recommend.
Colin Joyce (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Would still recommend it.
Edna Gould –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. It was easy to pick up and put down without losing my place. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. A great little find.
Willa Childers (verified owner) –
Bought this to do with my daughter on rainy days. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. The work is repetitive in a good way. Two thumbs up from me.
Eloise Andrade (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Heather G. (verified owner) –
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.
Teddy Jernigan –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Still a solid purchase.
NightOwlNotions (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. Still worth it overall.
Nancy Mccall (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The set stacks neatly in the drawer when not in use. The adhesive picked up lint over the days I worked on it. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
NightShiftNina (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. The puppy artwork comes together beautifully as you work. I work on it after dinner and it helps me switch off. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. Better than I expected.
Susanna Goff (verified owner) –
These are the first coasters I’ve made and I’m sold on the format. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Worth it despite the small things.
Jermaine Sanchez (verified owner) –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The finished piece has real presence. Very happy customer.
Everett Moreno (verified owner) –
I’ve bought from this shop a few times now and this is another good one. No missing colors and nothing short in the high-use shades. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Jared Ervin (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. They fit a standard mug or glass without overhang. The puppy artwork comes together beautifully as you work. Really happy with this one.
RainyDayRhonda –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The dog artwork comes together beautifully as you work. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. Definitely ordering more as gifts. Two thumbs up from me.
Denise P. (verified owner) –
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.
Howard Felton (verified owner) –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. The drills clicked into place without needing much pressure. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. It’s easy to pick up and put down, which suits my schedule. Still a good kit overall.
Ted Maldonado (verified owner) –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. Glad I went with this one.
Blake Lang (verified owner) –
A friend wouldn’t stop talking about hers, so I finally ordered one. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. It’s become the quiet part of my day that I look forward to. It came out better than the product photos suggested. Still a solid purchase.
Karla Williams (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Would recommend it with those notes.
Doreen Guzman (verified owner) –
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.

Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I’d have liked a slightly longer chart, but it was workable. They’re on the coffee table and get used every day. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Randall Phillips (verified owner) –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. Really happy with the end result. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Overall happy, just a few small things.
