Why This Sunflower Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This one works twin sunflower heads turned at slightly different angles, petals radiating in overlapping rows around a densely seeded centre into a Sunflower composition, coloured in gold and amber petals with deep umber centres against a clear sky blue. The effect is warm and open and unfussy. Sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for kitchens and sunlit rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD565. Sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work.
sunflower designs carry the light of a room without needing the room to be bright — the amber does the work. It is why the piece settles into kitchens and sunlit rooms without needing the rest of the scheme to match it.
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 Sunflower design come as a ready-to-work coaster set?
Yes. The Sunflower 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 BD565.
Does the Sunflower finish stay intact under regular use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Sunflower 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. Regular use does not compromise the Sunflower surface.
What is the right way to care for the Sunflower coaster set?
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 Sunflower palette, gold and amber petals tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Sunflower palette holds up better kept out of strong sun.
What proportion of the Sunflower coaster set is covered?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Sunflower artwork is drawn so that twin sunflower heads turned at slightly different angles reads clearly at any distance. The Sunflower pattern is worked uniformly, with no gaps left.
What is the pace of the Sunflower project?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Sunflower design is warm and open, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Work it a colour at a time and the Sunflower piece moves quickly.
Does the Sunflower design need any special skill?
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 Sunflower layout is warm and open, which helps on a first attempt. The set is complete as shipped.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. The Christmas detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Still a solid purchase.

Really nice kit, especially for the money. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. 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. Still worth it overall.
Melissa L. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Great value for what you get. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Sherry B. (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Still worth it overall.
Sherman Tanner (verified owner) –
Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. The colors stay true once it’s finished. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Patti Cartwright (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. This is a lovely sunflower piece for the price. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Lenora Schwartz (verified owner) –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. The instructions were short but covered everything I needed. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. They’ve held up well to daily coffee and tea. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Christie Mann (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye on the new arrivals page. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Carolyn Ellison (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. They look like a proper matched set. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Worth it despite the small things.
Shane Greco (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. A useful gift that people actually keep out. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Catherine R. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. I love how the holiday colors turned out. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Bruce Reed (verified owner) –
I bought two sets so I could gift one and keep one. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. It’s satisfying to watch a section fill in. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Rose T. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. We actually use them every day, not just display them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Overall a good experience.
Shaun Dunlap (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. The base is thick enough that they don’t feel flimsy. I picked it up whenever I had a spare twenty minutes. It’s the kind of thing people ask about when they see it. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Would recommend it with those notes.
Chloe T. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Orville Fernandez (verified owner) –
Been eyeing this one for a while and finally pulled the trigger. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I picked it up whenever I had a spare twenty minutes. The pen was fine, though I ended up using my own. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Rosemary Courtney (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. The finish on each coaster matched the others exactly. The yellow bloom element makes it feel personal. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Theo Porter (verified owner) –
I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Diego Brooks –
These were a nice little project to knock out over a week. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. Nice mindful work that keeps you present. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Andre Crawford –
I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Hailey J. (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Each one took me a weekend to finish, quicker than I expected. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. The Christmas detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. The work is repetitive in a good way. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
