Why This Dog Set Earns Its Place on the Table
Here the Dog motif is built around a dog seated facing outward, ears relaxed, coat textured in layered strokes with the muzzle and eyes worked in finer detail, carried by warm tans and creams with darker shading at the ears and back. The result reads as warm and loyal — considered rather than busy. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for entryways and family rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD530. The eyes are worked last and in the finest drill available — that sequence is what gives the finished portrait expression That is the detail that separates this from a generic Dog print.
a dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. Hung in entryways and family rooms, the warm palette does the work and the artwork stays understated.
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 10 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 Dog design come as a ready-to-work coaster set?
Yes. The Dog 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 BD530.
How long will the Dog finish last with normal use?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Dog 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 Dog surface.
What is the right way to care for the Dog 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 Dog palette, warm tans and creams tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. The Dog palette holds up better kept out of strong sun.
Is the Dog surface fully worked?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Dog artwork is drawn so that a dog seated facing outward reads clearly at any distance. The Dog pattern is worked uniformly, with no gaps left.
What is the pace of the Dog project?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Dog design is warm and loyal, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Work it a colour at a time and the Dog piece moves quickly.
Is the Dog coaster set approachable for beginners?
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 Dog layout is warm and loyal, which helps on a first attempt. The set is complete as shipped.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved 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. Still worth it overall.
James P. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.
Diane M. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Really happy with the end result. I picked the autumn version and the colors are lovely. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Ann A. (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. We actually use them every day, not just display them. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Joyce J. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. My friends all want one now. I picked the fall version and the colors are lovely. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Theo B. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. It’s a charming autumn piece and everyone comments on it. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Great kit, no complaints.
Scarlett W. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Alice H. –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. Easy recommendation.
Thomas M. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Each one took me two evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Highly recommend.
Diane V. (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. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Really pleased with this one.
Deborah C. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The autumn subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Happy customer here.
Erin R. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Owen Townsend (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. Definitely ordering more as gifts. No complaints at all.
WinterWindowArt –
A set of coasters felt like the perfect bite-sized project. The backing grips the table instead of sliding around. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. A great little find.
Ezekiel Knowles (verified owner) –
I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. It’s a lovely take on a puppy design. Guests always comment on them. Will definitely be back.
Lindsey Coley (verified owner) –
I bought this to fill the gap between bigger projects. The cork base means no scratches and no condensation rings. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Van Whitehead (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The dog motif is what drew me in. They look like a proper matched set. I’d have liked a few more spare drills in the pale colors. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Gloria D. (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Happy customer here.
Michele Steele (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. It’s become one of my favorite things in the house. Highly recommend.
Belinda Beebe (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. All eight coasters came out the same size, which isn’t always the case. Good quality drills with clean edges, not chipped. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. I do a section a night with a podcast on. Definitely ordering more as gifts. The puppy pattern is what made me choose this one. Would buy again; the notes are minor.
CandleAndCraft (verified owner) –
I keep a set going on the kitchen counter. They wipe clean easily, which matters with kids around. I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute. They live on the side table and look good there. Solid choice, no regrets.
Edward Higgins (verified owner) –
I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. Each coaster is a solid thickness and feels durable. I picked it up whenever I had a spare twenty minutes. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. This one’s a keeper.

These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
NanaMakesGifts (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The puppy artwork is the reason I clicked. Each coaster is a solid, even thickness with no warping. They’re on the coffee table and get used every day. No complaints at all.
Owen S. (verified owner) –
Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Easy recommendation.

These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. They stack away neatly when I want the table clear. Recommended without hesitation.
Rick Bowling (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Everything was bagged and labeled, so setup took five minutes. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. It’s the kind of task that quiets a busy mind. Would order again despite the small issues.
Margie Mixon –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Really happy with this one.
Ramona Hood –
Small enough to take along on a trip. The kit came with a comfortable pen and enough wax for the whole project. The work never felt like a chore. Worth every penny.
Oscar V. –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Lucy Jordan (verified owner) –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I’m a sucker for anything puppy-themed. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. So glad I went with this one.
Gina Schwartz (verified owner) –
These were a housewarming gift and I nearly kept them. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. Worth picking up.
Irving Hackett (verified owner) –
These coasters have become the little project I look forward to. It’s earned a spot on the wall. The puppy palette works really well with the design. The cork on one had a small rough patch. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
Nicole Lucas (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. They live on the side table and look good there. Some colors had very few spare drills. Still a solid purchase.
Marguerite Mckinney (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. I chose this one for the dog look. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. A really satisfying project from start to finish. Would order again despite the small issues.
Desiree Barry (verified owner) –
A friend recommended this shop and I see why. The finish on each coaster is consistent across the set. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. The puppy palette works really well with the design. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Would order again despite the small issues.
Wallace Cruz (verified owner) –

Sheryl Crump (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. They’re sized well for a standard mug and a wider tumbler too. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Kayla Rose (verified owner) –
Bought these to replace a tired set and the upgrade is obvious. There was plenty of margin around the edge for a clean finish. The tray included is on the small side. This is a lovely dog piece for the price. I got through it faster than I thought I would. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Leo F. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each one took me a couple of hours to finish, quicker than I expected. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Solid kit, would order again.
Claudia Wyatt –

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The dog palette works really well with the design. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. The holder finish doesn’t quite match the coasters. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Robert Reese –
