Why This Santa Claus Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This one works a full Santa portrait with a layered beard, structured hat and fur trim, framed in a decorative border into a Santa Claus composition, coloured in cherry red, snow white and antique gold on a warm neutral ground. The effect is warm and traditional and unfussy. Santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for December hosting and holiday gifting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD564. Santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself. The warm colouring is what allows it to sit in December hosting and holiday gifting without dominating.
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.

- DOTZSO signature resin drills, sorted by colour (with extra drills included)
- Diamond painting tray
- Comfort-grip applicator pen

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
What exactly ships with this coaster set?
Yes. The Santa 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 BD564.
Will the Santa surface keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Santa 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 Santa piece normally will not disturb the drills.
How should the Santa surface be handled during cleaning?
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 Santa palette, muted terracotta, dusty blue and soft graphite resolved against an off-white ground tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Santa colours stay true with basic care.
Is the Santa design fully drilled throughout?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Santa artwork is drawn so that overlapping colour fields drifting across the canvas reads clearly at any distance. There are no unworked sections on the Santa piece.
What time should I set aside for the Santa coaster set?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Santa design is modern and understated, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Work it a colour at a time and the Santa piece moves quickly.
What would a beginner find tricky on the Santa 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 Santa layout is modern and understated, which helps on a first attempt. Everything ships together in one box.

Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Owen G. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Linda B. –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Luis P. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Solid kit, would order again.
Tommie Bachman (verified owner) –
I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. They make the whole table look more put together. Very pleased overall.
Oscar G. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The end result made all the evenings worth it. The cork on one had a small rough patch. Still worth it overall.

Hailey J. (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. If you like holiday designs, this is a good one to go for. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
PeachStatePearls (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. It’s a lovely take on a Christmas design. I find it relaxing to just follow the chart and let my mind wander. This one might be my favorite finish yet. Couldn’t be happier with it.

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. We actually use them every day, not just display them. A really lovely purchase.

Small enough to take along on a trip. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I like that it’s creative without requiring any decisions. They stack away neatly when I want the table clear. One coaster was slightly thicker than the others. Worth it despite the small things.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought these to have on hand for last-minute hostess gifts. The cork base means no scratches on our wood table. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. It’s a lovely take on a holiday design. We actually use them every day, not just display them. This exceeded what I expected.

Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. The pen grip stayed comfortable through long sessions. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. No complaints at all.
Sylvia Edwards (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. The colors are true to the listing photos. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. It became my end-of-day wind-down. Everyone who visits picks one up to look at it. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Oliver Geiger (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. Can’t recommend it enough.
Marcus C. (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. I’ll be buying more from this shop. Would make a great gift too.
Jodi Dickerson (verified owner) –
Bought these to replace a tired set and the upgrade is obvious. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. The work never felt like a chore. A great addition to my collection.
Greta Darden (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. The Christmas motif makes it feel special. Solid kit, would order again.
Jack Huerta (verified owner) –
I bought two sets so I could gift one and keep one. They’re sized well for a standard mug and a wider tumbler too. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. They stack away neatly when I want the table clear. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Saul Walters (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. A really satisfying project from start to finish. Really glad I bought it.
Gabriel Price (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. No complaints at all.
RainyDayRhonda –
I ordered this set for our new apartment. They’re practical enough to actually use, which is the point. The Christmas colors are richer than the photos show. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Leland Hill (verified owner) –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. Each coaster is a solid thickness and feels durable. My daughter wants one now after seeing mine. The tray was smaller than I’d like for a big session. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Noel Parks (verified owner) –
Bought this as a reward for getting through a busy stretch at work. The thickness makes them feel like real coasters, not craft foam. A really enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. They’re practical enough to actually use, which is the point. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Jean D. (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Each one took me an evening to finish, quicker than I expected. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Loved it, no regrets.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The finished piece looks far better than I expected. A really good buy.
Chase Rocha (verified owner) –
Bought it to have something to look forward to after work. Extra drills were included for every color, which I appreciated. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. It turned out better than I pictured. Highly recommend.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. I’ll be ordering from this shop again. This is a lovely festive piece for the price. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still a good kit overall.
Rosalie Stafford (verified owner) –
I saw this on the shop page and couldn’t talk myself out of it. I keep them out for guests and always get asked about them. Five stars from me.
Ashley Moody (verified owner) –
Small enough to take along on a trip. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. It’s my screen-free hour in the evening. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Overall a good experience.
Mason Creech (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Surprisingly calming, even for someone with a short attention span. They fit a standard mug or glass without overhang. Still a solid purchase.
Maryann Berger (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Troy Mcnally (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Would happily gift this.
Leo Floyd (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. I listened to a podcast and the time went by without noticing. I chose this one for the Christmas look. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Still worth it overall.
Frederick Walters (verified owner) –
