Why This Christmas Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The Christmas artwork on this canvas frames a decorated fir tree with baubles, ribbon and a star topper, snow settling across the branches and a scatter of gifts at the base, worked in deep forest green and cherry red with gold accents on a soft white ground. The overall character is festive and nostalgic rather than theatrical. A Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. It suits a table that gets used every evening and hosts at weekends. Designed for December decorating and holiday hosting, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD581.

a Christmas canvas is the one decoration with a guaranteed annual return — it comes out every December for years. In practice that means the finished piece sits comfortably in December decorating and holiday hosting, where the festive character of the palette does the decorating for you.
A DOTZSO kit is designed so the making is restful and the finished piece earns its place in the room. Alongside the canvas you get DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
What makes this a working set rather than a display piece is underneath – a cork backing that takes the moisture before it reaches the furniture.
Matched drills across all 6 pieces mean the set looks deliberate when stacked or spread out.

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.
Finish the set at an easy pace, then leave it on the table rather than boxing it up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coaster set complete as shipped for the Christmas design?
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 BD581.
Does the Christmas design stay intact with everyday wear?
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. The drilling on the Christmas piece stays level over time.
What is the routine care for the Christmas coaster set?
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. Skip solvent cleaners, which can cloud the Christmas resin.
Does the Christmas artwork have unworked sections?
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. The Christmas piece has a uniform drilled finish.
How many evenings will the Christmas design take?
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. Break it into short sessions and it never feels long.
What experience does the Christmas coaster set assume?
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. Nothing else needs ordering.

I made one the first night just to see how it went, then did the rest over the week. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. My friends all want one now. Highly recommend.

These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Great kit, no complaints.
Nicole R. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I picked the festive version and the colors are lovely. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Five stars from me.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. The Christmas pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. I’ll be ordering more.
Matthew E. (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. I did this with my sister on the weekends and we both got into it. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Janet J. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Overall a good experience.

Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Very pleased with how it came together. Really glad I bought it.

Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. It’s a charming holiday piece and everyone comments on it. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Catherine H. –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. The holder is a little loose, the coasters rattle when you move it. Still a solid purchase.
Deborah S. (verified owner) –
I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The Christmas subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. Using them on the patio table and they’ve held up fine. One of the 6 coasters had a slightly off-center print. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Emily R. (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. Each one took me about three hours to finish, quicker than I expected. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Great value for what you get. This shop has a repeat customer in me.

Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. Colors match the listing photo really closely. Wish the cork backing were a touch thicker. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. Really happy with the end result. Overall a good experience.
Javier N. –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Christopher G. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. Made a set for my book club and everyone wanted the link. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Easy recommendation.

Came quickly and was packaged really well. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. They’re a hit whenever we have people over. Would order again despite the small issues.
