Why This Chicken Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A hen in profile with layered feathering, detailed comb and a confident stance against a simple farmyard ground forms the subject of this Chicken piece, worked in warm rust and cream feathering with bright red comb on muted green. The character is cheerful and rustic, and it stays that way at any distance. Hen motifs anchor farmhouse kitchen styling — they read rural without being novelty. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for farmhouse kitchens and country styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD501. Hen motifs anchor farmhouse kitchen styling — they read rural without being novelty It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.

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.

- Comfort-grip applicator pen

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 everything needed for the Chicken coaster set in the pack?
Yes. The Chicken 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 BD501.
Will the Chicken coaster set keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Chicken 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 Chicken surface tolerates being picked up and moved.
How do I freshen up the Chicken coaster set?
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 Chicken palette, warm rust and cream feathering tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads, which would dull the Chicken surface.
Does the Chicken coaster set have complete drill coverage?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Chicken artwork is drawn so that a hen in profile with layered feathering reads clearly at any distance. The Chicken pattern carries to the outer edge.
What is the realistic build time for the Chicken design?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Chicken design is cheerful and rustic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Chicken pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
Can someone with no craft background do the Chicken coaster set?
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 Chicken layout is cheerful and rustic, which helps on a first attempt. All components arrive together.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Chloe N. (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Each one took me a lazy afternoon to finish, quicker than I expected. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still a solid purchase.
Isaiah V. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Ryan L. –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Abigail H. (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Peggy Baldwin (verified owner) –
I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. One color had a couple of misshapen drills, but spares covered it. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Wilbert Cash (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. A really enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Declan Burnham –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Nice mindful work that keeps you present. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Noah A. –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. We actually use them every day, not just display them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Horace Velasquez (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Phyllis Tucker (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. The canvas arrived flat rather than rolled tight. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. It was a pleasant way to spend a slow afternoon. Would order again despite the small issues.
Bonnie Derrick (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. Guests always comment on them. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.

I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. I’d have liked a slightly longer chart, but it was workable. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Norma Owen (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. They make the whole table look more put together. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Thelma Howard (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. The tray included is on the small side. Still worth it overall.
Sung Mcguire (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. We actually use them every day, not just display them. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Ollie Hunter –
I’m not usually a craft person, but this one converted me. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. It’s become the quiet part of my day that I look forward to. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Wei Moss (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. The farmhouse pattern is what made me choose this one. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Kenny Bryant (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. Great for unwinding after a busy week. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Worth it despite the small things.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Travis K. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. The fall pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Teddy Peterson (verified owner) –
These are my favorite style of kit to give away. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Sherri Baker (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Elvira Roy (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye on the new arrivals page. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Claire Washington (verified owner) –
I’m not usually a craft person, but this one converted me. We actually use them every day, not just display them. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Hannah Hanson (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. I did most of it on weekend mornings with coffee. The finished work looks considered, not like a craft project. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
