Why This Pumpkin Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Pumpkin design shows carved jack-o'-lanterns glowing from within, ringed by curled vine tendrils and fallen autumn leaves. The colour work is burnt orange, amber and deep umber against a matte slate background — an overall feel that is warm and mischievous, never busy. Pumpkin season is short. A set that lives on the table from the first chilly morning to the last slice of pie earns its shelf space. What sets this one apart is the treatment: The lantern glow is built from layered amber drills, so the faces catch light differently depending on where the coaster sits. It is built for hosts who decorate early and want the table to look intentional by October 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 autumn coffee table, it holds up as decor rather than something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD521.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns a place in the room. The kit arrives with a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and step-by-step pictorial guidance.

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.
Work through the set at whatever pace suits, then leave it out on the table where it will actually get used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pumpkin coaster set ship with the mounting hardware included?
Yes. The Pumpkin 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 BD521.
Will the Pumpkin coaster set look the same after a year of use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Pumpkin 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. Sealing properly is the whole of the maintenance story here.
Is the Pumpkin coaster set easy to wipe down?
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 Pumpkin palette, deep orange rind and burnt umber shading against a smoky grey ground tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Handle the Pumpkin piece with dry hands where possible.
How long is the Pumpkin design from start to finish?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Pumpkin design is seasonal and warm, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Pumpkin design is paced, not rushed.
What would a beginner find tricky on the Pumpkin design?
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 Pumpkin layout is seasonal and warm, which helps on a first attempt. The kit includes everything needed to start.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. If you like spooky designs, this is a good one to go for. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Trevor V. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I’d recommend it with that one note.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Still a solid purchase.
Joseph B. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Overall a good experience.
Hailey T. (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. Colors match the listing photo really closely. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Would order again despite the small issues.
Maria Crawford (verified owner) –
Bought these to have on hand for last-minute hostess gifts. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. I wish the box were sturdier for storage. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Hope Babcock –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. The spooky element makes it feel personal. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. Worth it despite the small things.
Melba Lowe (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. Great value considering how many hours of enjoyment it gave me. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Dwayne Kaufman (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. I’d prefer slightly thicker cork on the base. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Cecilia Whitaker (verified owner) –
I ordered these for the living room and they look intentional. The backing grips the table instead of sliding around. The set looks cohesive and well made on the shelf. The packaging was a little plain for a gift. If you like Halloween designs, this is a good example. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Kurt London (verified owner) –
A set of coasters felt like the perfect bite-sized project. The edges are smooth, so nothing catches on a cloth when I wipe them. The packaging arrived a little dented. The colors stay true once it’s finished. Would order again despite the small issues.
Everett Rich (verified owner) –
I ordered this set for our new apartment. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. They’ve held up without a single scratch. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Jaime Craig –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. It’s found a permanent spot in the house. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. I went with the Halloween version and the colors are lovely. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Georgia Jordan (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. Each coaster is a solid thickness and feels durable. It’s easy to pick up and put down, which suits my schedule. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Tammy G. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. The spooky palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Mandy Pratt (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Cynthia L. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Would order again despite the small issues.
Sylvia Poole (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. This is a lovely Halloween piece for the price. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. Worth it despite the small things.
Preston Mccoy (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. The kit came with a comfortable pen and enough wax for the whole project. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. The finished piece genuinely surprised me. Still worth it overall.
Stella Parks (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. The October detail is impressive up close. The pen was fine, though I ended up using my own. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Hugh Bailey (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Manuel Woodard (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. The multi-placer tip took some practice. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Shirley Kirk –
My daughter chose this one for us to work on together. Spare drills were included, which I appreciated. The pace of it suits me — no pressure, no deadline. I’m really proud of how it turned out. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Shelby Williams –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. The pace of it suits me — no pressure, no deadline. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. I went with the Halloween version and the colors are lovely. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.

Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. They fit a standard mug or glass without overhang. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Would order again despite the small issues.
