Why This Bohemian Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
The Bohemian motif reads as a layered boho composition of arches, fringed forms and repeated geometric motifs arranged in loose horizontal bands here, cleared of clutter and coloured in terracotta, sand and deep rust with flashes of teal across a warm neutral ground. The mood is earthy and relaxed, and it holds. Boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. It is for makers who prefer a project that improves the room when it is finished. Designed for living rooms with a warm, natural palette, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP11. boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work That constraint is what gives the artwork its shape.
boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. In living rooms with a warm, natural palette the earthy register means it never has to compete for the eye.
DOTZSO makes these trays for people who would rather serve on something made than something bought. What is in the box: the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and a pictorial instruction sheet.
The tray body is the part that matters. The printed surface is sealed after the drills are seated, so the tray takes hot mugs and plates without marking.
The whole tray face is worked, so no section looks like an afterthought.

- DOTZSO signature resin drills, sorted by colour (with extra drills included)
- Diamond painting tray
- Comfort-grip applicator pen
- Wax caddy
- Pictorial step-by-step instructions
How to Make It
- Lay the printed tray face flat and let it settle before starting.
- 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 colour block at a time rather than across the whole tray.
- Continue until the face is covered, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seal the surface fully before the tray goes into service, or the drills will lift under a plate.
Complete it over a few sessions, then let the tray settle into everyday use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bohemian wooden tray kit delivered as one complete package?
Yes. The Bohemian wooden tray kit ships complete with the wooden tray and cut-in handles; you drill the printed face and then the tray goes into service, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference CP11.
How durable is the finished Bohemian wooden tray kit?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Bohemian design holds under normal use. The surface is sealed, so it handles mugs and plates in normal use. Very hot pans straight from the hob are another matter — use a trivet, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Light contact and normal carrying cause no lift on the Bohemian surface.
How should I clean the Bohemian wooden tray kit?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not submerge it or put it through a dishwasher — the adhesive layer under the drills is not built for a soak. For the Bohemian palette, terracotta, sand and deep rust tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A dry, soft cloth handles the routine dusting.
Is the Bohemian surface drilled as one field?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Bohemian artwork is drawn so that a layered boho composition of arches reads clearly at any distance. There is no printed fill showing through on the Bohemian design.
How long will the Bohemian wooden tray kit take overall?
Plan for a few sessions rather than one. Working a single colour block at a time is faster than moving across the tray at random. The Bohemian design is earthy and relaxed, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It works well as an ongoing project.
How does sizing work across the Bohemian range?
The range covers 7.8 × 11.8 in, 9.8 × 13.8 in and 12.2 × 16.1 in, so there is a format for a bedside table or a full dinner service. This listing is the 9.8×13.8 in format. Reference CP11.

Heavier and nicer in person than it looked online. Handles are cut well and comfortable to actually carry. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Easy recommendation.

I use mine for morning coffee and it’s held up well. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. Looks beautiful on the coffee table with a candle on it. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.

Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The wood base has a nice weight to it, feels like real serveware. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Easy recommendation.

I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The drilled panel is recessed so it’s protected from spills. Gave it to my sister as a gift and it was a big hit. Five stars from me.

Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Great value for what you get. Loved it, no regrets.
Yuki P. (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Size is right for two mugs and a small plate. The wood arrived with one small scuff on the side. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. Really nice piece to have out when people come over. Overall a good experience.
Ann T. (verified owner) –
Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Nice finish on the wood, not rough or unfinished. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Still worth it overall.
Marie V. (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. Gave it to my best friend as a gift and it was a big hit. Great kit, no complaints.
Jeffrey N. (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Wood feels solid, much better than the thin pressed board I’ve seen. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. My friends all want one now. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Solid kit, would order again.
Luis K. (verified owner) –
The handles make it feel like real serveware, not just a craft. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Five stars from me.
Linda R. (verified owner) –
I’ve wanted one of these trays for ages and finally made one. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. I’ll be ordering more.
