Why This Ocean Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This one works breaking waves rolling toward a shallow shore, foam worked in white and pale aqua against deepening turquoise water into a Ocean composition, coloured in turquoise shifting to deep teal, with white and pale sand at the break line. The effect is cool and restorative and unfussy. Ocean motifs cool a room visually — they are the most reliable choice for a bathroom wall. It is aimed at homes where the small objects on the table have been chosen on purpose. Designed for bathrooms and coastal interiors, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD528. The foam uses a mix of pale drills at close spacing, which is what makes the wave look like it is still moving Put simply, ocean motifs cool a room visually — they are the most reliable choice for a bathroom wall.
ocean motifs cool a room visually — they are the most reliable choice for a bathroom wall. It is why the piece settles into bathrooms and coastal interiors 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 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
Will I need to buy anything else to finish this coaster set?
Yes. The Ocean 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 BD528.
Do the drills hold on the Ocean coaster set once it is finished?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Ocean 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 resin drills bond firmly across the Ocean pattern.
Is the Ocean coaster set straightforward to look after?
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 Ocean palette, turquoise shifting to deep teal, tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid dishwashers entirely for the Ocean piece.
Is the Ocean piece fully covered or partly printed?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Ocean artwork is drawn so that breaking waves rolling toward a shallow shore reads clearly at any distance. The Ocean pattern is applied across the entire surface.
Is the Ocean coaster set a big time commitment?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Ocean design is cool and restorative, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Ocean layout is easy to put down and pick up again.
Is the Ocean project a good place to start?
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 Ocean layout is cool and restorative, which helps on a first attempt. The kit is ready to work on arrival.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Cheryl F. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. The autumn palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Still worth it overall.
Jennifer S. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Still a solid purchase.
Noah P. (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. I’d recommend it with that one note.

I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. The tropical palette works really well with the design. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. Worth it despite the small things.
Ernest Baker (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. Nothing was damaged in shipping and the packaging was neat. The tropical artwork is the reason I clicked. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Shipping took a few days longer than I expected. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Bernadette Burris –
This was exactly the kind of project I needed this month. Cork on the bottom stops condensation from sticking them down. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. It photographs well, which is a bonus for sharing. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. I worked on it while the kids did homework. A useful gift that people actually keep out. Would order again despite the small issues.

Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Marcos Keane (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. A useful gift that people actually keep out. The included pen wore out partway through. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Vernon Sloan (verified owner) –
This is a genuinely nice kit for the money. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Bruce Keefe (verified owner) –
Perfect for when you want a finished project fast. Good quality drills with clean edges, not chipped. The work never felt like a chore. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Cynthia Davidson (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. Each one took about an evening, quicker than I expected. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Worth it despite the small things.
Sheryl Ruiz –
Was looking for something to do with my hands in the evenings. My daughter wants one now after seeing mine. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Overall a good experience.
Wilhelmina Forsythe (verified owner) –
Grabbed this on a whim after a long week. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. A few drills were stuck together and needed separating. It’s a lovely take on a tropical design. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Dorothy Key (verified owner) –
These are great for a first-timer, not intimidating at all. Plenty of margin around the edges for framing or trimming. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. They’re a bit small for a large tumbler. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Mae Oneal (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each one took me two sittings to finish, quicker than I expected. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Jean Phelps (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. This one might be my favorite finish yet. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Betty Burgess (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. The adhesive picked up lint over the days I worked on it. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Josephine Henderson (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. The edges came finished cleanly with no rough spots. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Tracey Nelson (verified owner) –
Bought this as a birthday present to myself. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Santiago Conner (verified owner) –
My daughter chose this one for us to work on together. The set stacks neatly in the drawer when not in use. The artwork looks even better in person than the photos. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Guests always comment on them. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Dominique Kemp (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. It looks great from a distance and holds up close. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
