Why This Christmas Set Earns Its Place on the Table
Here the Christmas motif is built around a decorated fir tree with baubles, ribbon and a star topper, snow settling across the branches and a scatter of gifts at the base, carried by deep forest green and cherry red with gold accents on a soft white ground. The result reads as festive and nostalgic — considered rather than busy. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for December decorating and holiday hosting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD665. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. The baubles are worked in brighter drills than the foliage, which is what makes the tree read as lit from within.
a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. In December decorating and holiday hosting the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting it.
DOTZSO builds these kits for slow evenings, with a finish good enough to leave out on the table. Box contents run to a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and a pictorial reference sheet.
Nothing here is decorative-only. The base grips, the cork absorbs, and the drill surface is pressed flat so it survives ordinary use.
The 6-piece format covers seating for a full table without buying twice.

- 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 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.
Work through it gradually, then let the finished coasters take their place in daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is actually in the box for this Christmas coaster set?
Yes. The Christmas 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 BD665.
Is the Christmas coaster set robust in normal conditions?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Christmas 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 Christmas finish is fragile once it has been sealed.
Can I clean the Christmas coaster set without damaging the surface?
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 Christmas palette, deep forest green and cherry red tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A light pass is enough; the Christmas finish resists marking.
Is the Christmas coaster set drilled across the whole surface?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Christmas artwork is drawn so that a decorated fir tree with baubles reads clearly at any distance. Nothing on the Christmas face is left untreated.
What time should I set aside for the Christmas coaster set?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Christmas design is festive and nostalgic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Working the Christmas design in stages keeps it enjoyable.
What would a beginner struggle with on the Christmas 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 Christmas layout is festive and nostalgic, which helps on a first attempt. No separate tools are required.

So glad I added this one to my cart. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. The holiday design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Easy recommendation.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. They look great on the sideboard and are genuinely useful. Really pleased with this one.

This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. The Christmas detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Colors match the listing photo really closely. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Easy recommendation.

Such a nice little project to have on the go. The festive subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. I’ll be ordering more.

Wei P. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Each one took me two evenings to finish, quicker than I expected. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Harper K. –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Can’t wait to start the next one.

These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. Gave it to my daughter as a gift and it was a big hit. Can’t wait to start the next one.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The holder fits all 6 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I love how the Christmas colors turned out. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Happy customer here.
Sandra E. (verified owner) –
I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still worth it overall.
Melissa D. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

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. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Very happy with this purchase.

Thomas T. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Very happy with this purchase.
Danielle N. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Very pleased with how it came together. Great kit, no complaints.
John V. (verified owner) –
I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. Worth every penny.
