Why This Dog Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This canvas takes a dog seated facing outward, ears relaxed, coat textured in layered strokes with the muzzle and eyes worked in finer detail as its subject, rendered in warm tans and creams with darker shading at the ears and back. The mood settles at warm and loyal, which is what keeps it easy to live with. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters. It is designed for regular use in a busy house, not occasional display. Designed for entryways and family rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD468. A dog portrait is one of the few decorations a household will keep permanently, which is why the detailing matters It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
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 6 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
Is anything for the Dog coaster set purchased separately?
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 BD468.
Will the Dog coaster set look the same after a year of 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. The Dog finish is designed to be used, not just looked at.
How do I protect the Dog finish long term?
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 finish prefers dry methods to wet ones.
Is the Dog surface fully worked, or is it a partial-drill piece?
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. No part of the Dog face is left as bare board.
Does the Dog coaster set suit someone with limited free time?
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. The Dog pattern builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
Is prior diamond painting experience needed for the Dog 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 Dog layout is warm and loyal, which helps on a first attempt. The kit includes everything needed to start.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Worth every penny.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Worth every penny.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. I love how the dog colors turned out. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Really pleased with this one.
Kevin W. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. The puppy design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
John W. –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. It’s a charming dog piece and everyone comments on it. Thumbs up from our whole family.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. Easy recommendation.
Luis T. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Easy recommendation.
Abigail C. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. If you like puppy designs, this is a good one to go for. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
John V. –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. I picked the puppy version and the colors are lovely. Solid kit, would order again.

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. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Loved it, no regrets.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I did this with my mom on the weekends and we both got into it. The puppy palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Hiroshi L. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Really glad I bought it.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. The dog palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Still a solid purchase.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. I love how the puppy colors turned out. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Kenneth B. –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. If you like dog designs, this is a good one to go for. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Worth every penny.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Linda E. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. Took a bit longer to arrive than I expected. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
