Why This Mushroom Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The Mushroom artwork on this canvas frames a cluster of woodland mushrooms at varying heights, caps domed and gilled, ringed by moss, ferns and scattered leaf litter, worked in earthy reds, ochres and deep greens with cream gills and stems. The overall character is woodland and cosy rather than theatrical. Mushroom imagery has moved from seasonal novelty to year-round decor, and the woodland palette is why. It fits anyone who wants a handmade set without the upkeep ceramics demand. Designed for reading nooks and autumn styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD499. Mushroom imagery has moved from seasonal novelty to year-round decor, and the woodland palette is why. The gill detail under each cap uses fine line work that most kits skip — it is what sells the woodland realism.
mushroom imagery has moved from seasonal novelty to year-round decor, and the woodland palette is why. The woodland colouring is what allows it to sit in reading nooks and autumn styling without dominating.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns its place in the room. Alongside the canvas you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
What makes this a working set rather than a display piece is underneath – a cork backing that takes the moisture before it reaches the furniture.
Matched drills across all 8 pieces mean the set looks deliberate when stacked or spread out.

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.
Finish the set at an easy pace, then leave it on the table rather than boxing it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this coaster set come ready to start, with no add-ons to buy?
Yes. The Mushroom 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 BD499.
How tolerant is the Mushroom surface of daily use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Mushroom 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 Mushroom finish is designed to be used, not just looked at.
Can the Mushroom surface be wiped with a damp cloth?
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 Mushroom palette, earthy reds, ochres and deep greens tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. There is no special product needed for the Mushroom surface.
Is the Mushroom coaster set worked right to the edges?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Mushroom artwork is drawn so that a cluster of woodland mushrooms at varying heights reads clearly at any distance. Coverage on the Mushroom piece is consistent edge to edge.
What time should I allow for the Mushroom design?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Mushroom design is woodland and cosy, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Working the Mushroom design in stages keeps it enjoyable.
How simple is the Mushroom design to follow?
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 Mushroom layout is woodland and cosy, which helps on a first attempt. Every element needed is supplied.

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 holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Derrick S. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. My friends all want one now. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. The cottagecore palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Horace Schroeder (verified owner) –
I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. The set stacks neatly in the drawer when not in use. The release paper peeled back cleanly without tearing. I found the whole thing very easy to settle into. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. The finished look is polished and put together. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Johnny Alvarado (verified owner) –
Such an easy kit to get going with. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Overall a good experience.
Marissa Zamora (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. The finished piece has real presence. Still a solid purchase.
Geoffrey Elliot (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. They look like a proper matched set. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Evelyn S. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Jorge G. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Overall a good experience.

Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The base is thick enough that they don’t feel flimsy. The cottagecore palette works really well with the design. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. It was a pleasant way to spend a slow afternoon. Still a solid purchase.
Alfonso Maxwell (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Each one took me one long weekend to finish, quicker than I expected. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. Would still recommend it.
Elijah N. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Very pleased with how it came together. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Would order again despite the small issues.
Brian Patrick (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. I listened to a podcast and the time went by without noticing. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Leta Stephenson (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. It’s satisfying to watch a section fill in. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Laurie Fleming (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Cecilia Blair (verified owner) –
Picked this up before a long flight and it saved the trip. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Hillary Sutton (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Rosalind Spears (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. Still a solid purchase.
Marisa Bradshaw (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. The drills arrived clean, not stuck together in clumps. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Overall a good experience.
Richard Morton –
I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Mavis Williamson –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. The cottagecore colors are richer than the photos show. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Cara Cameron (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The cottagecore artwork comes together beautifully as you work. Good quality drills with clean edges, not chipped. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Dexter Acevedo (verified owner) –
I bought this for our weekend place and it’s been a hit. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. I’d have liked a slightly longer chart, but it was workable. This is a lovely mushroom piece for the price. A really enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
SouthernSparkle (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Overall a good experience.
Bryan Cole (verified owner) –
A friend recommended this shop and I see why. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Brandon H. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The cottagecore pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Would order again despite the small issues.
Thelma Black –
I wanted something I could pick up for twenty minutes at a time. The backing grips the table instead of sliding around. I’m a sucker for anything cottagecore-themed. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Still a solid purchase.
Louise Farley (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. A few drills were stuck together and needed separating. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Miles Miles (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The numbering was consistent across the whole canvas. I did this with my nephew on the weekends and we both got into it. The result looks handmade in the best way. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Overall happy, just a few small things.
