Why This Panda Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A Panda study built on a panda seated and holding a bamboo stem, the black and white masses balanced across the body with soft fur transitions. The palette stays in high-contrast black and white with a warm bamboo green accent, and the piece keeps a gentle and playful register throughout. Panda designs suit children's rooms because the high contrast reads clearly from across the room. It is designed for regular use in a busy house, not occasional display. Designed for children's rooms and family spaces, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD599. The black and white contrast means very few shades are needed, which makes this the fastest large-scale piece to work That is the detail that separates this from a generic Panda print.
panda designs suit children's rooms because the high contrast reads clearly from across the room. Placed in children's rooms and family spaces, it reads as part of the room rather than an addition to it.
Every DOTZSO diamond painting kit is built for people who want the make to feel calm and the result to be something they actually use. Contents: colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, sorting tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated step-by-step instructions.
The construction is deliberately simple: anti-slip body, cork backing, seated drill surface. That combination is what keeps the set out of a drawer.
The set runs to 6 coasters, each on the same cork-backed base for a consistent feel in the hand.

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.
Complete the set over a few quiet evenings, then put it to work — these are made to be handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the whole Panda coaster set contained in a single pack?
Yes. The Panda 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 BD599.
Does the Panda coaster set hold together over time?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Panda 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. It is a working finish rather than a display-only one.
How do I keep the Panda coaster set in good order?
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 Panda palette, high-contrast black and white tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid dishwashers entirely for the Panda piece.
Is the Panda design drilled as a whole?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Panda artwork is drawn so that a panda seated and holding a bamboo stem reads clearly at any distance. Nothing on the Panda face is left untreated.
What is the average time for the Panda coaster set?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Panda design is gentle and playful, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Progress on the Panda piece is visibly steady.
Would I cope with the Panda design as a novice?
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 Panda layout is gentle and playful, which helps on a first attempt. The box contains the full project.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. The panda pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Still worth it overall.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. If you like panda designs, this is a good one to go for. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Happy enough that I’d buy another.

I ordered this set for our new apartment. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Would still recommend it.
Noah Little (verified owner) –
Our old coasters were scratched up, so this was an easy upgrade. The tweezers included were actually good quality. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Really pleased with how it turned out. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.

I keep a project going at all times and this is the current one. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. I wish the instructions went into a bit more detail for a first-timer. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.

I ordered this set for our new apartment. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. The panda colors are richer than the photos show. I did most of it on weekend mornings with coffee. They’re on the coffee table and get used every day. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. Still worth it overall.

I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. It’s a lovely take on a panda design. I got through it faster than I thought I would. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. Overall happy, just a few small things.

I bought two sets so I could gift one and keep one. The base is thick enough that they don’t feel flimsy. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Still a good kit overall.
Karla Jacobson (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. A few drills were stuck together and needed separating. It became my end-of-day wind-down. Good enough that I’d buy another.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Everything needed to finish was in the box, nothing extra to buy. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. They make the whole table look more put together. The panda subject matter is right up my street. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Madeline Moon (verified owner) –
I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Faye Conner (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The canvas print is sharp and the symbols are legible. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Sandra Goldberg (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Alana Alexander (verified owner) –
Bought these to replace a tired set and the upgrade is obvious. The panda artwork is the reason I clicked. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Overall a good experience.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Extra drills were included for every color, which I appreciated. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Still worth it overall.

I picked these up to add something handmade to the coffee table. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. I did a section a night and looked forward to it each time. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. It holds up to a close look, which matters more than I expected. Overall happy, just a few small things.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. It became my end-of-day wind-down. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. A really satisfying project from start to finish. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. The panda subject matter is right up my street. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The cork on one had a small rough patch. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.

I took a chance on this and it paid off. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Still worth it overall.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Been eyeing this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. It’s earned a spot on the wall. I’d recommend it with that one note.

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. If you like panda designs, this is a good one to go for. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I’d recommend it with that one note.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. I love how the panda colors turned out. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
