Why This Santa Claus Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This Santa Claus design shows a rosy-cheeked Santa varied across ten frames, each with a different hat tilt, beard shape and framed portrait border. The colour work is cherry red, snow white and antique gold — an overall feel that is nostalgic and cosy, never busy. December is the one month the table gets used daily. Ten coasters means the set survives a full holiday season without a second wash cycle. What sets this one apart is the treatment: Ten portrait variations of the same character create a gallery-wall effect on the table — a single Santa would have looked repetitive at this pack size. It is built for families who host through December and decorate the table properly — 10 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 December hosting, it holds up as decor rather than something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD535.
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. Inside the box you get a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.

- 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 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.
Finish it over a few evenings, then put it straight to use — the set is designed for daily service, not shelf duty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in the box with this Santa 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 BD535.
Is the Santa surface tough enough for daily 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. Nothing about the Santa finish is fragile once it has been sealed.
Does the Santa finish need any special treatment?
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. Store it dry and the Santa piece needs very little attention.
How much spare time does the Santa design need?
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. The Santa pattern builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
Do I need experience to do the Santa coaster set?
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. The kit is complete on delivery.

This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Jennifer E. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Marcos Kirkland –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The surface wipes clean with a damp cloth, no fuss. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Raul Murillo (verified owner) –
Our old coasters were scratched up, so this was an easy upgrade. The release paper peeled back cleanly without tearing. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. My friends all want one now. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Lloyd Mcdonald (verified owner) –
Found this while browsing and couldn’t leave without it. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. I wish the instructions went into a bit more detail for a first-timer. They’ve survived a house full of guests without a mark. The Christmas artwork is the reason I clicked. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
CreativeCorner –
Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. The Christmas design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. Still a solid purchase.
Kenny Webster (verified owner) –
Bought a set for the camper and they’ve been great. This one might be my favorite finish yet. The festive subject matter is right up my street. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Delores Hanson (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. The cork backing is properly attached, not just glued on the edges. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. It’s earned a spot on the wall. The included pen wore out partway through. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Ernest Jennings (verified owner) –
I wanted coasters that didn’t look like everyone else’s and these fit. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. One coaster was slightly thicker than the others. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Kenneth Tillman –
Picked this up before a long flight and it saved the trip. The drills arrived clean, not stuck together in clumps. The set is eight, which is more than I strictly needed. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Worth it despite the small things.
WindyCityWax (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. I’ve already had several people ask where it came from. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Would order again despite the small issues.
Alma Brock (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. If you like Christmas designs, this is a good example. I’m proud to have this on display. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Overall a good experience.
Sofia Chapman (verified owner) –
Bought these for our patio table and they look charming. The holder fits all 10 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. One of the 10 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the table. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Angela Jensen (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. Still a good kit overall.
Justin Poole (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. Something about placing the drills is very settling. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Darla James (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. The packaging arrived a little dented. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Delia Little (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. They bring a bit of charm to the coffee table. One bag of drills had come open in transit. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Josephine Cooper (verified owner) –
I like having a small kit that doesn’t take a month. The cork base means no scratches on our wood table. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. The edges could be sealed a little better for daily use. Still worth it overall.
Meredith Ray (verified owner) –
Got a set for the office and they dress up my desk. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. Gave it to my father as a gift and it was a big hit. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. The Christmas palette works really well with the design. Overall a good experience.
Janice Hawkins (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. They’ve become part of the everyday routine here. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Would order again despite the small issues.
Mamie Waters (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The holder keeps the set together and tidy. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. One coaster had a marginally off-center print. It looks like something from a home decor shop. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Janet Arnold –
Small enough to take along on a trip. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. This is a lovely holiday piece for the price. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Freddie Stein (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The cork backing keeps them from sliding and protects the table. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. I’ll be ordering from this shop again. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Rafael Stein (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Darin Burgess (verified owner) –
This was my first order here and it won’t be my last. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. The holder is a bit loose so they rattle when moved. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Kellie Leblanc (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
NurseAndNeedles (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. The festive motif is what drew me in. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. It only comes in sets, so I couldn’t buy a single extra. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Leticia Pierce –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Tia Francis (verified owner) –
I’ve made several sets of these now as gifts. The holiday palette works really well with the design. Great value for what you get. The tray included is on the small side. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
