Why This Butterfly Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Butterfly design shows a butterfly with wings held open, each panel showing graded colour from deep centre to translucent edge, antennae and body picked out in fine detail. The colour work runs through iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges — an overall feel that is delicate and alive, never busy. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD477. butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it, and the treatment of the colour is what carries it.
butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It is why the piece settles into hallways and entryways without needing the rest of the scheme to match 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 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
Is the coaster set ready to use straight away?
Yes. The Butterfly 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 BD477.
Does the Butterfly coaster set need careful handling to stay intact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Butterfly 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. Regular use does not compromise the Butterfly surface.
Can the Butterfly coaster set be cleaned with a soft brush?
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 Butterfly palette, iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun to hold the Butterfly colours.
Is the Butterfly artwork partially printed or fully drilled?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Butterfly artwork is drawn so that a butterfly with wings held open reads clearly at any distance. The Butterfly artwork is fully drilled rather than partly printed.
What time should I allow for the Butterfly design?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Butterfly design is delicate and alive, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Work it a colour at a time and the Butterfly piece moves quickly.
How much guidance does the Butterfly design require?
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 Butterfly layout is delicate and alive, which helps on a first attempt. There is no follow-up order to make.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. Still a solid purchase.

My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. It was a pleasant way to spend a slow afternoon. It’s found a permanent spot in the house. One coaster was slightly thicker than the others. Still a solid purchase.

I keep a project going at all times and this is the current one. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. The winged artwork comes together beautifully as you work. They’ve become the thing people notice first in the living room. Still worth it overall.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. Still a solid purchase.
Gwen Huffman (verified owner) –
Bought it to have something to look forward to after work. The base is thick enough that they don’t feel flimsy. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. I went with the butterfly version and the colors are lovely. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

I’ve had my eye on this design since last season. If you like butterfly designs, this is a good example. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. It became my end-of-day wind-down. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Roosevelt Schoen (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Surprisingly calming, even for someone with a short attention span. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Scott Golden (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. I find it relaxing to just follow the chart and let my mind wander. It looks great from a distance and holds up close. The winged detail is impressive up close. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. I’d recommend it with that one note.
April Moon (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. I’m a sucker for anything butterfly-themed. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. I worked on it while the kids did homework. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Diego S. (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. I picked the winged version and the colors are lovely. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Would order again despite the small issues.

Came quickly and was packaged really well. Everyone who sees it asks where it came from. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Still a solid purchase.
Kenneth Jennings (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Made a set for my sister and now she wants more. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Lawrence Hughes (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Lillie Mullins (verified owner) –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Derek Arellano (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. I finished it over a couple of weekends. This is a lovely butterfly piece for the price. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Joyce W. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Each one took me two evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. The colors work beautifully with the room. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Each one took me a few evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Layla Houston (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. Each one took me an evening to finish, quicker than I expected. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Worth it despite the small things.
Ryan H. –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Charlotte A. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Still worth it overall.
Roger Thomas (verified owner) –
I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Happy with it despite the small stuff.

Bought it to have something to look forward to after work. The winged detail is impressive up close. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
