Why This Highland Cattle Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The Highland Cattle artwork on this canvas frames a highland cow in close portrait with long shaggy fringe covering the eyes, curved horns and a broad textured coat, worked in warm ginger and russet coat with cream horns against a soft muted field. The overall character is characterful and rustic rather than theatrical. Highland cow portraits became a decor staple because the fringe gives them instant personality. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for farmhouse and country interiors, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD502. highland cow portraits became a decor staple because the fringe gives them instant personality, and the treatment of the colour is what carries it.
highland cow portraits became a decor staple because the fringe gives them instant personality. In practice that means the finished piece sits comfortably in farmhouse and country interiors, where the characterful character of the palette does the decorating for you.
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 the Cat coaster set cover everything from start to finish?
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 BD502.
Is the Cat surface sealed well enough for regular use?
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. Normal wear leaves the Cat surface unaffected.
How do I keep the Cat coaster set looking its best?
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. Skip solvent cleaners, which can cloud the Cat resin.
Is the Cat surface fully worked, or is it a partial-drill piece?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Cat artwork is drawn so that a cat settled in profile with tail wrapped forward reads clearly at any distance. The Cat face has no deliberately exposed areas.
How long will the Cat coaster set occupy me?
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. It fits around other commitments easily.
Is the Cat design one to start with or work up to?
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. No add-ons are needed.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Still a solid purchase.
Dustin E. –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. Overall a good experience.
EmptyNesterElla (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. Each one took me two evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Katie N. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Jack G. –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. It fits perfectly with the decor in the hallway. Would make a great gift too.
Sanjay P. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. The highland cow palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Very happy with this purchase.
PacificCraftPam (verified owner) –
This arrived on a rainy Tuesday and turned the week around. The symbols on the chart were easy to follow from start to finish. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. Exactly what I wanted.
Norma Dugan (verified owner) –
This was my first order here and it won’t be my last. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I worked on it while the kids did homework. Solid choice, no regrets.

I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
William B. (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. If you like cow designs, this is a good one to go for. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Courtney Weiss (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. I went with the highland cow version and the colors are lovely. Very pleased with how it came together. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Javier Mullins (verified owner) –
I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Cory Walls –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. It was easy to pick up and put down without losing my place. Glad I finally ordered it.

A set of coasters felt like the perfect bite-sized project. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. It’s earned a permanent spot here.
StashBusterSam (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. I worked on it a little each evening and it added up quickly. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Serena Reyes –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. They’re practical enough to actually use, which is the point. Solid choice, no regrets.
HappyHandsStudio (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Katherine A. (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Sharon Andrade (verified owner) –
Ordered this after seeing it on a friend’s shelf. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. Highly recommend.
Brittany L. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Lily Beal (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. Each one took me an afternoon to finish, quicker than I expected. The drills were sorted into clearly marked bags, which saved a lot of time. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. I gave a set to a friend and she uses them constantly. Would make a great gift too.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Gave it to my mom as a gift and it was a big hit. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Harper Townsend (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Each one took me three evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Wesley Murillo –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. It looks great from a distance and holds up close. Solid kit, would order again.
Lee Wiley (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. Spare drills were included, which I appreciated. If you like highland cow designs, this is a good example. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Really happy with this one.
GemArtGail (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Jennie Hooker (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. Recommended without hesitation.
Landon Drake –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. The set looks cohesive and well made on the shelf. Can’t recommend it enough.
Michael S. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The highland cow palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Will be back for more.

Charlene Stafford (verified owner) –

Eunice Calderon (verified owner) –
I ordered this set for our new apartment. The colors work together better than I expected. Completely satisfied.
Derrick Cook (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. The highland cow element makes it feel personal. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. It looks like something from a home decor shop. Worth it despite the small things.
Joshua F. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Patricia Vargas –
So glad I added this one to my cart. Great little housewarming gift. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Brett Dolan (verified owner) –
I’ve had my eye on this design since last season. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. Really pleased with this one.
Nathan D. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. The cow palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Really pleased with this one.
Marion Schroeder (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. The cork base means no scratches on our wood table. A really enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.
Jessica Lawrence (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Still worth it overall.
Terry Washington –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. The drills are uniform and sit flat with no gaps. The cow detail is impressive up close. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. A great addition to my collection.
Rolando London (verified owner) –
This was my first order here and it won’t be my last. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Five stars from me.
Harvey Cooper –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. I’ll be ordering more.
Patty Reed (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The highland cow palette works really well with the design. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. Overall a good experience.
Luz Vincent (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The tray and tweezers included were better than I expected. I take it on the porch in the evenings when the weather is nice. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. The cow pattern is what made me choose this one. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Sanford Ingram (verified owner) –
Bought this as a birthday present to myself. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Will definitely be back.
Casey Jenkins –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. It’s a calm, repetitive hobby and that’s exactly what I wanted. It’s a nice conversation piece when people visit. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
