Why This Christmas Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This canvas takes a decorated fir tree with baubles, ribbon and a star topper, snow settling across the branches and a scatter of gifts at the base as its subject, rendered in deep forest green and cherry red with gold accents on a soft white ground. The mood settles at festive and nostalgic, which is what keeps it easy to live with. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for December decorating and holiday hosting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD669. a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. That is the part that matters most here.
a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. Hung in December decorating and holiday hosting, the festive palette does the work and the artwork stays understated.
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 everything for the Christmas design come in one order?
Yes. The Christmas 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 BD669.
Is the finished Christmas coaster set something I can use without worrying?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Christmas 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. Handling the Christmas piece normally will not disturb the drills.
How do I keep the Christmas coaster set looking new?
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 Christmas palette, deep forest green and cherry red tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A microfibre cloth works well on the Christmas surface.
Is there any bare surface on the Christmas coaster set?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Christmas artwork is drawn so that a decorated fir tree with baubles reads clearly at any distance. Every part of the Christmas design is worked.
How many hours does the Christmas coaster set represent?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Christmas design is festive and nostalgic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Expect the Christmas piece to span several relaxed sessions.
Is the Christmas coaster set fine for absolute beginners?
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 Christmas layout is festive and nostalgic, which helps on a first attempt. All materials are included.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Very pleased with how it came together. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Luis P. –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Very pleased with how it came together. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Daisy Krause (verified owner) –
I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. The finished piece looks far better than I expected. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Randall Langley (verified owner) –
Our old coasters were scratched up, so this was an easy upgrade. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. It’s the kind of task that quiets a busy mind. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Franklin Jennings (verified owner) –
These are the perfect size to actually finish. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. It’s the sort of project that makes an evening feel well spent. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Still a solid purchase.
Christian Lawson (verified owner) –
I ordered this set for our new apartment. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. A useful gift that people actually keep out. Still a solid purchase.
Lindsey Shepard (verified owner) –
Picked this up as a small reward after a long quarter at work. The adhesive held firmly without any lifting at the edges. The included pen wore out partway through. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. Still worth it overall.
Scarlett V. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Still a solid purchase.
Angela B. (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Still a solid purchase.
PorchLightCrafts (verified owner) –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. It fits perfectly with the decor in the dining room. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Overall a good experience.
Ravi L. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I’d recommend it with that one note.
NurseAndNeedles –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The tray held more than enough drills at a time. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. I chose this one for the holiday look. It’s the kind of thing people ask about when they see it. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Debra Hughes (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Something about placing the drills is very settling. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
NightOwlNotions (verified owner) –
Been doing these for about two years and this kit is solid. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. Each color was in its own pouch, clearly numbered. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. They’ve become part of the everyday routine here. One color had a couple of misshapen drills, but spares covered it. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Isabella B. –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Scot Schmidt (verified owner) –
Such an easy kit to get going with. This is a lovely Christmas piece for the price. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. This one might be my favorite finish yet. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Ethel Holt (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. The Christmas pattern is what made me choose this one. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Joyce Bronson (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. I picked it up whenever I had a spare twenty minutes. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Kay Brown (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The kit came complete, nothing extra needed from the craft store. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. They’ve become part of the everyday routine here. Worth it despite the small things.
Gene Blackburn (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. The cork on one had a small rough patch. Happy with it despite the small stuff.
Keith Mcmahon (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The Christmas detail is impressive up close. The adhesive picked up lint over the days I worked on it. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Would order again despite the small issues.
Patty Cummings (verified owner) –
Bought these to have on hand for last-minute hostess gifts. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I keep it by my chair and pick it up whenever I have a few minutes. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. The pen was fine, though I ended up using my own. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Lora Sullivan (verified owner) –
I bought this for our weekend place and it’s been a hit. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. They’ve held up without a single scratch. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Worth it despite the small things.
Phyllis Sherwood (verified owner) –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Lavonne Black (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Priscilla Mclean (verified owner) –
This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Really soothing to focus on one small area at a time. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Laura Watts (verified owner) –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Would still recommend it.
Dorothy L. (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. I picked the Christmas version and the colors are lovely. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Still worth it overall.
Frances Vaughn (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. We actually use them every day, not just display them. The included pen wore out partway through. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Pearl Pierce –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. A useful gift that people actually keep out. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Cole Jacobs (verified owner) –
This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. Very pleased with how it came together. Would recommend it with those notes.
Janet Schmidt (verified owner) –
Been doing these for about two years and this kit is solid. A really satisfying project from start to finish. I went with the festive version and the colors are lovely. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Still a solid purchase.
Brendan Snow (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The Christmas pattern is what made me choose this one. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Still worth it overall.
Dallas Juarez (verified owner) –
Our old coasters were scratched up, so this was an easy upgrade. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. Still a solid purchase.
Dexter Herring (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Sonja Adkins (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. Worth the time it took. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Still a solid purchase.
Abigail Lloyd (verified owner) –
Ordered this as a small pick-me-up and it worked. The tray and tweezers included were better than I expected. They’ve replaced the store-bought ones entirely. I went with the festive version and the colors are lovely. The included pen wore out partway through. Would still recommend it.
