Why This Flower and Bird Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
A bird perched on a flowering branch, head turned, with open blooms running along the stem and a few loose petals falling gives this Flower and Bird design its structure, soft blush and cream blooms with warm brown branch and blue-grey plumage gives it its colour, and delicate and lively is what you end up with. Bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif. It fits a kitchen with an open shelf and a reason to fill it. Designed for living rooms and hallways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP22-2. bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif, and that is the standard the rest of the piece is held to.

This is a DOTZSO tray kit for anyone who wants a useful piece of homeware at the end of it. The kit includes the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial steps.
A tray stays out on the counter if it can take a hot mug. That is what the sealed surface and solid body are for.
Full drill across the base keeps the finish consistent from handle to handle.

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.
Take it one colour at a time, and let the finished tray move onto the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does everything for the Flower and Bird design come in one order?
Yes. The Flower and Bird 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 CP22-2.
Is the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit built to be handled, or is it delicate?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Flower and Bird 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. Give the seal a full cure and the Flower and Bird finish will hold.
How do I freshen up the Flower and Bird 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 Flower and Bird palette, soft blush and cream blooms tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads, which would dull the Flower and Bird surface.
Does the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit have complete drill work?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Flower and Bird artwork is drawn so that a bird perched on a flowering branch reads clearly at any distance. The Flower and Bird design is worked without breaks in coverage.
How much time should I set aside for the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit?
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 Flower and Bird design is delicate and lively, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Flower and Bird pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
How do the Flower and Bird sizes compare?
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 12.2×16.1 in format. Reference CP22-2.

Finished it over a weekend and it looks great on the ottoman. Really nice piece to have out when people come over. Really glad I bought it.
Dustin T. (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Would order again despite the small issues.
Evelyn T. –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. Solid kit, would order again.

This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. Colors match the listing photo really closely. The finished piece gets compliments from everyone who visits. Worth every penny.
Sherry D. (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. Surface is flat and level, glasses don’t wobble on it. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Luciana N. (verified owner) –
Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Still worth it overall.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. Really happy with the end result. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Happy enough that I’d buy another.

Really nice kit, especially for the money. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Susan L. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Solid kit, would order again.
Jean L. –
I use mine for morning coffee and it’s held up well. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. I keep remotes and coasters on mine when it’s not in use. Really pleased with this one.
Richard B. –
I’ve wanted one of these trays for ages and finally made one. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. It sits on the entry table and catches keys and mail. Worth every penny.
Xavier J. (verified owner) –
This was a fun change of pace from the usual canvas kits. My friends all want one now. Solid kit, would order again.
Brian T. (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. Really happy with the end result. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Would order again despite the small issues.
Yuki W. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Looks beautiful on the coffee table with a candle on it. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Dorothy N. (verified owner) –

The wood base is much sturdier than I expected. The handles make it genuinely practical, not just decorative. Recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing craft.
Kevin T. (verified owner) –
Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. Handles make it easy to carry from the kitchen to the couch. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. Would order again despite the small issues.
Cody V. (verified owner) –
The wood base is much sturdier than I expected. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. I use it for serving when we have guests and it always gets noticed. Loved it, no regrets.
Sofia A. (verified owner) –
This tray kit felt like a real step up from the flat canvases. The drill design sits flush with the tray surface. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. It’s the kind of project you feel good about finishing. Easy recommendation.
Javier E. (verified owner) –
Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. The drilled panel is recessed so it’s protected from spills. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
