Why This Sunflower Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A Sunflower study built on twin sunflower heads turned at slightly different angles, petals radiating in overlapping rows around a densely seeded centre. The palette stays in gold and amber petals with deep umber centres against a clear sky blue, and the piece keeps a warm and open register throughout. Sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for kitchens and sunlit rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD596. Sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work. Placed in kitchens and sunlit rooms, it reads as part of the room rather than an addition to 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
Is the coaster set complete as pictured, or are parts extra?
Yes. The Sunflower 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 BD596.
Is the finished Sunflower coaster set something I can use without worrying?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Sunflower 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 Sunflower face is consistent throughout.
Does the Sunflower 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 Sunflower palette, gold and amber petals tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A quick wipe is normally all the Sunflower piece needs.
Is the Sunflower coaster set evenly drilled across the face?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Sunflower artwork is drawn so that twin sunflower heads turned at slightly different angles reads clearly at any distance. All of the Sunflower face is drill-covered.
How does the Sunflower 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 Sunflower design is warm and open, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Sunflower piece is easy to spread over several sittings.
How hard is the Sunflower design for someone new to diamond painting?
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 Sunflower layout is warm and open, which helps on a first attempt. All materials are included.
Gwendolyn Frazier –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The cork on one had a small rough patch. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. Still a good kit overall.
Kaitlyn Stokes (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. The packaging was a little plain for a gift. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
GoldenStateGlue (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Timmy Herbert –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Salvador Hunter (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. The result looks handmade in the best way. One coaster was slightly thicker than the others. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Neil Weeks (verified owner) –
This was exactly the kind of project I needed this month. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Jody Hooper –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. The packaging was a little plain for a gift. The finished piece looks far better than I expected. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Elijah V. (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Would order again despite the small issues.
Deborah Mccarthy (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. It’s the sort of project that makes an evening feel well spent. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Margarita Tanner (verified owner) –
I bought two sets so I could gift one and keep one. The drills arrived clean, not stuck together in clumps. They’ve replaced the store-bought ones entirely. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Olivia N. –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Very pleased with how it came together. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Vanessa C. –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
BookClubBetty (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. The yellow bloom detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Still worth it overall.
Carrie D. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. It’s a charming sunflower piece and everyone comments on it. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Gloria W. (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Isaiah Vincent (verified owner) –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. This is a lovely yellow bloom piece for the price. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Jonathan Moody (verified owner) –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. The end result made all the evenings worth it. Still worth it overall.
Joyce Strickland (verified owner) –
Picked this up before a long flight and it saved the trip. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Robin Weeks (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye on the new arrivals page. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
DogMomMakes (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Eddie Sinclair (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Gabriel Robertson (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The yellow bloom artwork comes together beautifully as you work. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. The included pen wore out partway through. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Gavin Griffith –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. It would help to include a larger paper chart. It turned out better than I pictured. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Winston Miller –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Sidney Harper (verified owner) –
This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. They get used every single day at our house. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
GreatLakesGlitter (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Frank Whitney (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The colors work beautifully with the room. The sunflower pattern is what made me choose this one. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Lorene Taylor (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. The drills clicked into place without needing much pressure. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. It’s the sort of project that makes an evening feel well spent. I’m really proud of how it turned out. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Shari Reid (verified owner) –
I picked these up to add something handmade to the coffee table. The yellow bloom artwork comes together beautifully as you work. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Darryl Jefferson (verified owner) –
These are the first coasters I’ve made and I’m sold on the format. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Nellie Alvarez (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. I’ll be buying more from this shop. I’d have preferred more spare drills in the least-used color. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
