Why This Cartoon Animal Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A set of cartoon animals in simplified rounded forms, each with bold eyes and distinct bright markings forms the subject of this Cartoon Animal piece, worked in saturated primaries and secondaries with strong black outlines. The character is fun and energetic, and it stays that way at any distance. Cartoon animal sets cover a child's room in one project — and the styles already match. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for children's rooms and play areas, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD302. Each animal uses the same outline weight, which is what makes a mixed set read as one coherent collection.
cartoon animal sets cover a child's room in one project — and the styles already match. In children's rooms and play areas the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting 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 anything in the coaster set sold separately?
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 BD302.
Does the Animal coaster set stand up to being used rather than just displayed?
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. The Animal surface tolerates being picked up and moved.
Does the Animal coaster set need special care?
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. A microfibre cloth works well on the Animal surface.
Does the Animal artwork rely on printed areas as well as 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. The Animal surface is worked as one continuous piece.
What is the pace like on the Animal coaster set?
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 is easy to work in short bursts.
How much practice does the Animal coaster set need?
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. The kit is complete on delivery.

Such a nice little project to have on the go. I picked the festive version and the colors are lovely. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Such a nice little project to have on the go. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Still a solid purchase.
Heather Maddox –
These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. The cartoon artwork is the reason I clicked. The set stacks neatly in the drawer when not in use. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. The colors work beautifully with the room. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Would order again despite the small issues.
Keith Ferguson (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Really pleased with how it turned out. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Dora Haynes (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. The colors work beautifully with the room. The cork on one had a small rough patch. Overall a good experience.
Brooke V. –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. The festive pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Still a solid purchase.
Mark Suarez (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. Plenty of margin around the edges for framing or trimming. Plenty of margin around the edges for framing or trimming. I found it a nice counterweight to a screen-heavy day. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Great little housewarming gift. Still a good kit overall.
Sierra N. (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Ella C. (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
EveningDrills (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. The cork is dense, not the crumbly kind that sheds. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Darlene Goodwin –
I ordered this set for our new apartment. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. Guests always comment on them. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Katrina Vaughn (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Would still recommend it.
Arthur Townsend (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. Great little housewarming gift. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Karla Vaughn (verified owner) –
I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. It’s earned a spot on the wall. Worth it despite the small things.
Nadine Snyder –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Good enough that I’d buy another.
George Cole (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Emma Haskins –
These are the first coasters I’ve made and I’m sold on the format. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. It came out better than the product photos suggested. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Yvonne Duncan (verified owner) –
This arrived on a rainy Tuesday and turned the week around. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. I chose this one for the cartoon look. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Kristine Washington (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. They’ve become part of the everyday routine here. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. The cartoon colors are richer than the photos show. Would still recommend it.
Sergio Sparks (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Made a set for my sister and now she wants more. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Worth it despite the small things.
Judith Sullivan (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. The finished work looks considered, not like a craft project. Worth it despite the small things.
Dee Nguyen (verified owner) –
Ordered this on a quiet Sunday and it arrived faster than expected. They look like a proper matched set. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Happy with it despite the small stuff.
Yolanda Reeves (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Each one took me a rainy day to finish, quicker than I expected. The playful motif makes it feel special. I work on it after dinner and it helps me switch off. The tray included is on the small side. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Still a good kit overall.
Rebecca M. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Devon Mcintosh (verified owner) –
Ordered two so my sister and I could work on them side by side. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The playful colors are richer than the photos show. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. The cork on one had a small rough patch. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Randall Shields (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Wendell Coley (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Still a good kit overall.
Sue Scott (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Each one took me about two hours to finish, quicker than I expected. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. A useful gift that people actually keep out. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Worth it despite the small things.
Stan Wood (verified owner) –
This is my fourth kit from DOTZSO and the quality is holding up. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Morgan Ramos (verified owner) –
Added this to my cart at the last minute and I’m glad I did. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
