Why This Ocean Dwarf Set Earns Its Place on the Table
The subject here is a whimsical figure set in an underwater scene, surrounded by coral forms, drifting bubbles and shafts of filtered light, set in aqua and coral with warm sand tones and bright bubble highlights. Rather than competing for attention, the piece holds a playful and underwater tone. Underwater scenes suit bathrooms and kids' rooms where a playful motif works. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for bathrooms and children's rooms, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD306. underwater scenes suit bathrooms and kids' rooms where a playful motif works, and the treatment of the colour is what carries it.

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
Is the coaster set for the Ocean design sold as one complete unit?
Yes. The Ocean 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 BD306.
Is the Ocean coaster set built to be handled, or is it delicate?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Ocean 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 Ocean finish is designed to be used, not just looked at.
How do I keep the Ocean coaster set looking new?
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 Ocean palette, turquoise shifting to deep teal, tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Regular light cleaning keeps the Ocean finish crisp.
Does the Ocean coaster set leave any background showing?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Ocean artwork is drawn so that breaking waves rolling toward a shallow shore reads clearly at any distance. Every part of the Ocean design is worked.
Is the Ocean coaster set a single-session project?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Ocean design is cool and restorative, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Ocean pattern builds up quickly once the colour blocks start.
How simple is the Ocean design to follow?
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 Ocean layout is cool and restorative, which helps on a first attempt. The kit arrives ready to begin.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The festive pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Solid kit, would order again.
Ann G. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. They look lovely stacked in the holder on the coffee table. Very happy with this purchase.
Marie V. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. Still worth it overall.
Henry D. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. The holder fits all 8 pieces neatly, keeps them from getting lost. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Rose F. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Jing E. (verified owner) –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Stacy B. –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. It’s a charming holiday piece and everyone comments on it. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Happy customer here.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The cork backing is a nice touch, they don’t slide around on the table. Very pleased with how it came together. Five stars from me.
Sophia D. (verified owner) –
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. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. The Christmas design is even prettier in person than in the photos. I’ll be ordering more.
Carol N. (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
James P. (verified owner) –
These are my go-to when I want a small craft that still feels rewarding. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Very happy with this purchase.
Oscar F. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. Would definitely buy again.
Nicole B. (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Easy recommendation.
Nancy N. (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The Christmas pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Denise T. (verified owner) –
My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. The holiday detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. I’m really proud of how it turned out. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. Still a solid purchase.
Javier G. (verified owner) –
Bought a set to use at our lake house and ended up making all eight. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I picked the Christmas version and the colors are lovely. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. Very happy with this purchase.
Marcus H. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. They wipe clean easily, which matters with coffee and kids around. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Loved it, no regrets.
Hailey P. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. The holiday palette is softer in person, which I actually prefer. Easy recommendation.

I wanted something I could finish in a sitting or two and these were it. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Easy recommendation.
Charlotte W. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. Going to order a few more for Christmas presents. Would definitely buy again.
Lucas S. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Exactly what I was hoping for.
