Why This Halloween Cats Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Halloween Cats design shows four black cats caught mid-arch, tails curled into crescent moons, perched on crooked fences under a scatter of stars. The colour work is ink black and violet with moonlit silver accents — an overall feel that is playful and a little theatrical, never busy. Halloween decor tends to be loud. This set is the quiet version: black cats and moonlight that fit a grown-up table without losing the joke. What sets this one apart is the treatment: The cats read as silhouettes at a distance, but the violet drills inside the tails only appear up close — a coaster that rewards a second look. It is built for cat people who host Halloween and want decor that survives November 1 — 8 coasters covers the whole table in one purchase, and the finish is matched across every piece so they read as a set rather than an assortment. Designed for Halloween gatherings, it holds up as decor rather than something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD520.
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. Inside the box you get a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.

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 colour block at a time rather than jumping around the canvas.
- Continue until the design is complete, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
Finish it over a few evenings, then put it straight to use — the set is designed for daily service, not shelf duty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set sold as a kit rather than as separate parts?
Yes. The Cat 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 BD520.
Will the Cat coaster set keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Cat 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 Cat work is fixed, not surface-mounted, so it does not shift.
Does cleaning the Cat coaster set risk loosening the drills?
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 Cat palette, warm greys and soft browns tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A light pass is enough; the Cat finish resists marking.
How long should I plan for the Cat coaster set?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Cat design is calm and companionable, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Many people work it over a week of evenings.
Would I manage the Cat design with no experience?
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 Cat layout is calm and companionable, which helps on a first attempt. The package covers the whole project.

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. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Easy recommendation.
Deborah L. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Five stars from me.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Would make a great gift too.
Crystal J. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The Christmas design is even prettier in person than in the photos. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Still a solid purchase.

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. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Very pleased with how it came together. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Diana W. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. It’s a charming holiday piece and everyone comments on it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. The colors work beautifully with the room. Still worth it overall.
Diane J. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. The holiday pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. My friends all want one now. Would order again despite the small issues.
Daniela S. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The Christmas palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. If you like festive designs, this is a good one to go for. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Great kit, no complaints.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. My friends all want one now. Five stars from me.

Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. Would definitely buy again.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. The drills arrived clean, not stuck together in clumps. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Gave it to my husband as a gift and it was a big hit. Still worth it overall.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. If you like festive designs, this is a good one to go for. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Still worth it overall.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. It’s found a permanent spot in the house. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.

I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. The drills are uniform and sit flat with no gaps. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Very happy with this purchase.

Gabriel Sellers (verified owner) –
This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Great little housewarming gift. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Good enough that I’d buy another.

I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. This is a lovely Halloween piece for the price. The holder keeps the set together and tidy.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing.

Sherry Campbell (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Symbols on the chart are printed clearly enough to follow without guessing. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Georgia Kane (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. Extra drills were included for every color, which I appreciated. I did this with my coworker on the weekends and we both got into it. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. The included pen wore out partway through. Still a good kit overall.
Veronica Welch (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. My daughter wants one now after seeing mine. Completely satisfied.
Matthew T. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Would definitely buy again.
Emily T. (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. The festive subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Martin Thornton (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. They get used every single day at our house. Very pleased overall.
