Why This Chicken Set Earns Its Place on the Table
A hen in profile with layered feathering, detailed comb and a confident stance against a simple farmyard ground forms the subject of this Chicken piece, worked in warm rust and cream feathering with bright red comb on muted green. The character is cheerful and rustic, and it stays that way at any distance. Hen motifs anchor farmhouse kitchen styling — they read rural without being novelty. It is for makers who prefer a project with an obvious job at the end. Designed for farmhouse kitchens and country styling, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference BD501. Hen motifs anchor farmhouse kitchen styling — they read rural without being novelty It is also why the piece keeps working after the novelty fades.

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 everything needed for the Chicken coaster set in the pack?
Yes. The Chicken 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 BD501.
Will the Chicken coaster set keep its finish with regular contact?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Chicken 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 Chicken surface tolerates being picked up and moved.
How do I freshen up the Chicken 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 Chicken palette, warm rust and cream feathering tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads, which would dull the Chicken surface.
Does the Chicken coaster set have complete drill coverage?
The drilled finish and palette are matched across the whole set, but each coaster carries its own printed motif. The Chicken artwork is drawn so that a hen in profile with layered feathering reads clearly at any distance. The Chicken pattern carries to the outer edge.
What is the realistic build time for the Chicken design?
Roughly 30 to 45 minutes each for most people, so a full set is a few evenings rather than one sitting. The Chicken design is cheerful and rustic, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Chicken pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
Can someone with no craft background do the Chicken coaster set?
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 Chicken layout is cheerful and rustic, which helps on a first attempt. All components arrive together.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Cork on the bottom plus the drill top makes them feel solid. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

I grabbed these to have something small to work on in the evenings. I gave a set to my son’s teacher and she was thrilled. Thumbs up from our whole family.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Each one took me a lazy afternoon to finish, quicker than I expected. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. The holder doesn’t match the coasters exactly in finish. Still a solid purchase.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I did this with my mother-in-law on the weekends and we both got into it. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. The autumn subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. Perfect for a cozy evening project.
Isaiah V. (verified owner) –
Was looking for a small diamond art project and these nailed it. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. The edges could be sealed a bit better for daily use. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. I’d recommend it with that one note.

Perfect little kit – not overwhelming like a full canvas. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. I picked the fall version and the colors are lovely. Would definitely buy again.
SouthernSparkle (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The holder is sturdy enough that I actually keep them in it. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Gave a set to my neighbor as a housewarming gift and she loved them. Five stars from me.
Ryan L. –
Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. The edges are finished cleanly, no rough spots. Everyone who comes over picks one up to look at it. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Colors match the listing photo really closely. The repetitive motion is oddly satisfying, one of those simple pleasures. Very happy with this purchase.
Kenneth J. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. Cork base means no scratches on our wood table, which I was worried about. The fall pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Got these for the kitchen table and they look so cute. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Would make a really nice gift, and it arrives boxed nicely. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Vanessa P. (verified owner) –
Such a fun format – one coaster at a time, no big commitment. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. They sit by the coffee maker and get used constantly. Highly recommend.

Noah A. –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. We actually use them every day, not just display them. They’re a bit smaller than I pictured for a large tumbler. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Brian E. (verified owner) –
Bought a set as a hostess gift and kept a set for myself. They’re a nice size for a standard mug, and even a wider tumbler fits. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. Happy customer here.
Oscar G. (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. We actually use them every day, not just display them. Solid kit, would order again.
Xavier G. (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Great housewarming gift, small and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
Savannah A. (verified owner) –
These little coasters are the perfect size for a quick project. I bring them out for guests and always get asked about them. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Travis K. (verified owner) –
I do these while dinner is in the oven. Great little time filler. Nice thickness – not the flimsy cardboard kind. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. One of the 8 coasters had a slightly off-center print. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. The fall pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
