Why This Santa Claus Set Earns Its Place on the Table
This one works a full Santa portrait with a layered beard, structured hat and fur trim, framed in a decorative border into a Santa Claus composition, coloured in cherry red, snow white and antique gold on a warm neutral ground. The effect is warm and traditional and unfussy. Santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for December hosting and holiday gifting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD564. Santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.
santa is the single most recognisable figure in holiday decor — the design does not need to explain itself. The warm colouring is what allows it to sit in December hosting and holiday gifting without dominating.
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 8 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
What exactly ships with this 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 BD564.
Will the Santa surface keep its finish with regular 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. Handling the Santa piece normally will not disturb the drills.
How should the Santa surface be handled during cleaning?
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. The Santa colours stay true with basic care.
Is the Santa design fully drilled throughout?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Santa artwork is drawn so that overlapping colour fields drifting across the canvas reads clearly at any distance. There are no unworked sections on the Santa piece.
What time should I set aside for the Santa coaster set?
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. Work it a colour at a time and the Santa piece moves quickly.
What would a beginner find tricky on the Santa 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 Santa layout is modern and understated, which helps on a first attempt. Everything ships together in one box.

Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.

Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Solid kit, would order again.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. The cork keeps them from sticking to the table when there’s condensation. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Hailey J. (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. If you like holiday designs, this is a good one to go for. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Each coaster is a good thickness and feels sturdy in the hand. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Happy enough that I’d buy another.

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. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Very happy with this purchase.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. I’ll be buying more from this shop. Would make a great gift too.

I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. Each one took me an evening to finish, quicker than I expected. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Loved it, no regrets.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. I’ve had three people ask me where I bought it. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Still a solid purchase.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. The holiday design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Each one took me a lazy afternoon to finish, quicker than I expected. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Happy customer here.
Marilyn T. –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. Each one took me about three hours to finish, quicker than I expected. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Worth every penny.
Amelia P. (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. Would make a great gift too.

I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. If you like holiday designs, this is a good one to go for. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Still a solid purchase.

I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. A few bags weren’t labeled as clearly as the rest. Still worth it overall.
