About This Butterfly Design
A Butterfly study built on 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. The palette stays in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges, and the piece keeps a delicate and alive register throughout. 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 suits makers who would rather build a piece of decor than buy one. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4573-Q4578. butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. That is the part that matters most here.
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 why the piece settles into hallways and entryways without needing the rest of the scheme to match it.
A DOTZSO kit is put together so the process stays unhurried and the finished canvas is worth framing. Along with the canvas come DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial steps.
A good canvas print is half the finished result. This one is produced so the symbols stay legible through a long project rather than fading at the edges.
Supplied as 6 separate canvases, so the set can be worked one design at a time.

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.
Work through it colour by colour, then frame the canvas and hang it where it gets seen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the diamond painting kit for the Butterfly design sold as one complete unit?
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 Q4573-Q4578.
How long will the Butterfly finish last with normal use?
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. The resin drills bond firmly across the Butterfly pattern.
Does the Butterfly piece require any upkeep?
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. Regular light cleaning keeps the Butterfly finish crisp.
Is the Butterfly piece fully covered or partly printed?
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 pattern carries to the outer edge.
How does the Butterfly project break down time-wise?
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. It works well as an ongoing project.
How difficult is the Butterfly design for a novice?
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. The box contains the full project.

Such a nice little project to have on the go. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. I picked the abstract version and the colors are lovely. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Anita M. (verified owner) –
The color range on this one is impressive. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Homer Solis (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. The canvas didn’t dry out over the weeks I worked on it. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. It arrived folded rather than rolled and took time to flatten. Still worth it overall.
Liam C. –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. Print quality is sharp, the contemporary detail really comes through. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
RockyMtnMakes (verified owner) –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. The printed area is bordered, so framing is straightforward. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. The butterfly pattern is what made me choose this one. Some colors had very few spare drills. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Jack G. (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. The abstract pattern is what drew me in and it didn’t disappoint. Still a solid purchase.
Stacy L. (verified owner) –
I keep coming back to this shop because the quality is consistent. It’s hanging in the living room now and looks great. The abstract subject is rendered with more detail than I expected. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Still worth it overall.
Aiden B. (verified owner) –
Such a nice little project to have on the go. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Eliot Sexton –
The finished size makes a real statement on the wall. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. The canvas arrived folded rather than rolled, took a while to flatten. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Wei Goodwin (verified owner) –
My husband picked this out for me and he chose well. The canvas doesn’t curl at the corners after working on it. I did a little at a time and it never felt like a slog. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. The printed chart could have been a touch larger. Still a good kit overall.
Jeffrey P. –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. The contemporary detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. Still a solid purchase.
Andrew Vincent (verified owner) –
A friend recommended this shop and I see why. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the butterfly section. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. Still worth it overall.
Jasmine Wright (verified owner) –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the butterfly section. The butterfly artwork looks great up on the wall. I do this instead of scrolling and feel much better for it. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Orlando York (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. Packaging was tidy and nothing had spilled in transit. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. It’s found a permanent spot in the house. The butterfly piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. Would still recommend it.
Alfred Steele (verified owner) –
A friend wouldn’t stop talking about hers, so I finally ordered one. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. The butterfly artwork looks great up on the wall. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. I did a little at a time and it never felt like a slog. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Christian Mason (verified owner) –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. It’s hanging in the sunroom now and looks great. The packaging arrived a little dented. The butterfly motif makes it feel special. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Sophie Alvarado (verified owner) –
This was a bigger project and I loved every evening of it. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. I worked on it while the kids did homework. Took longer than the estimated time, but that’s on me. It’s earned a spot on the wall. Overall a good experience.
Harriet Ryan (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Nice mindful work that keeps you present. I’ll be buying more from this shop. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Carmen York (verified owner) –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. It came rolled and flattened out with no creases. The printed symbols in one dense area were a little tight. I settled into a rhythm after the first section. It reads as a proper piece of art. Solid overall, just a couple of nitpicks.
Trevor Myers (verified owner) –
Bought this to fill a blank wall and it did the job. The tray and tweezers included were better than I expected. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Nellie Mann (verified owner) –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. The canvas is a good weight with a detailed print underneath. It arrived folded rather than rolled and took time to flatten. It looks like something from a home decor shop. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Katrina Keane (verified owner) –
I’ve done smaller kits and this felt like a proper project. The butterfly piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. No missing colors and nothing short in the high-use shades. I worked through this over a few weeks of evenings and loved it. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. Still a solid purchase.

Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. It was worth every evening I spent on it. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Still worth it overall.
Viola Spencer (verified owner) –
This is the largest kit I’ve done and it turned out beautifully. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Rhonda Valencia (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. Pre-sorted drills would save time. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Patrice Childress –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing. The symbols are small in the detailed areas. It’s the focal point of the hallway now. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Gladys Petty (verified owner) –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. The canvas print is sharp and the symbols are legible. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. It’s easy to pick up and put down, which suits my schedule. The included pen wore out partway through. Gave it to my sister as a gift and it was a big hit. Overall a good experience.
Pearlie Page (verified owner) –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Looks lovely framed and hung up. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Winston Conner (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The canvas rolls flat after a night under a couple of books. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. The glue picked up a bit of dust over the weeks I worked on it. Would still recommend it.
Mel Mathis (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The printed colors underneath match the drills closely. A couple of the symbols were close enough to double-check. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
