About This Butterfly Design
A butterfly with wings held open, each panel showing graded colour from deep centre to translucent edge, antennae and body picked out in fine detail forms the subject of this Butterfly piece, worked in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The character is delicate and alive, and it stays that way at any distance. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. It is aimed at makers who care about the finish as much as the process. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4886. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it.
butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. In hallways and entryways the piece holds its own against the surrounding colour rather than fighting it.
DOTZSO assembles each kit so the colour key is clear and the sessions stay unhurried. The box holds a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
Full drill means no bare canvas showing through. The finish is therefore uniform, and the piece reads as a single surface rather than a set of filled-in areas.
A single printed canvas is supplied, so there is no need to manage several designs at once.

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 colour block at a time rather than jumping around the canvas.
- Continue until the design is complete, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seat the canvas in its frame, or store it flat, once the surface has been pressed.
Take the making steadily, then frame the finished work and treat it as decor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Butterfly diamond painting kit include the tools as well as the project?
Yes. The Butterfly diamond painting kit ships complete with everything shown in the product images, so there is nothing else to source, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference Q4886.
Will the Butterfly surface keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Butterfly design holds under normal use. The sealed surface handles normal handling, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. There is no delicate stage once the Butterfly work is sealed.
What cleaning method suits the Butterfly design?
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 Butterfly palette, iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. There is no need for anything stronger than a damp cloth.
Does the Butterfly artwork use drills throughout?
The round resin drills are colour-sorted and matched to the printed symbol key. The Butterfly artwork is drawn so that a butterfly with wings held open reads clearly at any distance. The Butterfly face has no deliberately exposed areas.
Does the Butterfly project run over several days?
Plan for two to four evenings, depending on the size of the canvas. The Butterfly design is delicate and alive, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. Many people work it over a week of evenings.
How beginner-friendly is the Butterfly diamond painting kit?
Yes. The symbol key is printed directly on the canvas and the pictorial instructions walk through the whole process, so no prior diamond painting experience is needed. The Butterfly layout is delicate and alive, which helps on a first attempt. All the essentials come in the box.

This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Very happy with this purchase.

My third kit from this shop and still really pleased. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. Would make a great gift too.

This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. The finished piece looks stunning in natural light. The winged subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. If you like butterfly designs, this is a good one to go for. Gave it to my niece as a gift and it went over really well. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Amber V. (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. The winged artwork looks great up on the wall. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. It was worth every evening I spent on it. Solid kit, would order again.
Steven A. (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. Really proud to have this hanging in the house. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Would order again despite the small issues.

The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Easy recommendation.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The canvas feels substantial, not thin or flimsy. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. It’s hanging in the kitchen now and looks great. Happy customer here.

This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Kathleen S. (verified owner) –
I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought it for a rainy weekend and it was exactly what I needed. Nice large format, the finished piece makes a real statement. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. I’ll be ordering more.
Charlotte L. –
I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. The butterfly detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Perfect for a cozy evening in when you want to keep your hands busy. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Would definitely buy again.
Chase L. (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Really happy with the end result. I’d recommend it with that one note.

I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.

Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Loved it, no regrets.
Ashley K. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. Legend is printed on the canvas itself, which I find handy. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. The butterfly design is even prettier in person than in the photos. Really happy with the end result. Very happy with this purchase.
Hiroshi W. –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. The winged subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Great kit, no complaints.
Matthew L. –
Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. The canvas is a good weight and the print underneath is detailed. I like having something mindful to do that doesn’t need a screen. Really pleased with this one.
Ravi V. (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I did this with my neighbor on the weekends and we both got into it. Really proud to have this hanging in the house. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
