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.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. The festive detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Beverly D. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. The festive detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Very happy with this purchase.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Solid kit, would order again.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Loved it, no regrets.
Frances E. –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. I picked the Christmas version and the colors are lovely. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Very pleased with how it came together. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Javier J. –
So glad I added this one to my cart. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Delia White (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The cork is dense, not the crumbly kind that sheds. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. I did this with my grandmother on the weekends and we both got into it. It reads as a deliberate design choice, not a craft. Would order again in a heartbeat.

I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. Good quality drills with clean edges, not chipped.

These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. They’ve replaced the store-bought ones entirely. Great kit, no complaints.

Our old coasters were scratched up, so this was an easy upgrade. The set stacks neatly in the holder on the shelf. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. The playful artwork is the reason I clicked. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Two thumbs up from me.
