Why This Animal Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The subject here is a group of animals posed together at different scales, each with distinct fur or feather texture and individual character, set in warm naturals across the group with one brighter accent tied to the setting. Rather than competing for attention, the piece holds a friendly and varied tone. Animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. 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 BD316. Animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
animal groupings work in family spaces because every family member finds a different favourite. That makes it straightforward to place in children's rooms and family spaces, where the friendly tone already fits.
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 8 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
Does this coaster set contain the full Animal project?
Yes. The Animal 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 BD316.
Is the Animal coaster set durable enough to actually use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Animal 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. Normal wear leaves the Animal surface unaffected.
How do I maintain the Animal coaster set long term?
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 Animal palette, soft muted tones tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Animal surface asks for very little upkeep.
How much of the Animal coaster set carries drills?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Animal artwork is drawn so that a stylised creature built from simple rounded forms reads clearly at any distance. That applies across the whole Animal face.
How long does the Animal design typically take?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Animal design is playful and simple, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Animal pattern rewards steady work rather than rushing.
Can the Animal coaster set be a first 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 Animal layout is playful and simple, which helps on a first attempt. Everything ships together in one box.

These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Great kit, no complaints.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Colors match the listing photo really closely. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Still worth it overall.
CozyCraftsByJen (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Julie R. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Each one took me two sittings to finish, quicker than I expected. I did this with my husband on the weekends and we both got into it. We actually use them every day, not just display them. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

Quentin Gilbert (verified owner) –
This was my first order here and it won’t be my last. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. Shipping took a few days longer than I expected. They’ve replaced the store-bought ones entirely. Happy enough that I’d buy another.

This was exactly the kind of project I needed this month. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Glad I finally ordered it.
Serena Roberson (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The cork is dense, not the crumbly kind that sheds. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. The final result has a nice depth to it. Overall happy, just a few small things.

Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. Easy recommendation from me.

I bought this to fill the gap between bigger projects. No missing colors and nothing short in the high-use shades. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. It’s a nice conversation piece when people visit. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

I got through it faster than I thought I would. A really satisfying project from start to finish. It’s earned a permanent spot here.
