About This Butterfly Design
The subject here is 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, set in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. Rather than competing for attention, the piece holds a delicate and alive tone. 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 designed for rainy weekends and long winter evenings indoors. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q2385 Q4508-Q4512. Butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. Wing panels are worked as separate colour zones, so the shimmer shifts as you move past the finished piece.

Every DOTZSO diamond painting kit is made for steady, screen-free sessions that end with something you can hang. Contents include a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip pen, a wax caddy and illustrated instructions.
Consistent coverage is the goal, and full drill is how it is achieved. Nothing is left bare, so the surface reflects evenly across the whole piece.
The kit includes 6 canvases, which extends the project well beyond a single session.

What’s in the Box

- Diamond painting tray
- Comfort-grip applicator pen

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.
Complete it in your own time, then frame it — a finished DOTZSO canvas is meant to be hung, not stored.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are all the parts of this Butterfly diamond painting kit included in one box?
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 Q2385 Q4508-Q4512.
Is the Butterfly finish durable enough for everyday 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. Daily contact is well within what the Butterfly surface is built for.
What is recommended for the Butterfly surface?
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. Do not soak the Butterfly piece, even briefly.
Will any part of the Butterfly diamond painting kit appear unfinished?
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. No background area of the Butterfly design is left bare.
How many sessions does the Butterfly diamond painting kit need?
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. Progress is steady rather than dramatic on the Butterfly piece.
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit straightforward for a newcomer?
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 parts are included as standard.

This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Once it was framed it really pulled the room together. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Daniela M. –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. It’s hanging in the guest room now and looks great. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Katrina Bravo (verified owner) –
I wanted something substantial enough to last a few weeks. Nothing was crushed or bent in transit. The adhesive attracted a little dust over the weeks. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. It’s hanging on the wall and looks fantastic. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Susan Hartman –
Bought this as a centerpiece project for the season. The definition in the fine details holds up well. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. I did most of it on weekend mornings with coffee. It looks stunning in natural light. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Wayne Wiggins (verified owner) –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. The drills cover edge to edge with no bald spots. The butterfly artwork looks great up on the wall. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. Shipping took a few days longer than I expected. Overall a good experience.
Colin Clark (verified owner) –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. The numbered sections are spaced well, so the work doesn’t feel cramped. Pre-sorted drills would save time. It’s large enough to be a real statement piece. I’d order it again knowing what I know now.
Angela H. (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. It was worth every evening I spent on it. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
CabinCraftsMolly (verified owner) –
Ordered this to work on through the winter evenings. It photographs well, which is a bonus for sharing. The printed chart could have been a touch larger. Still a good kit overall.
Margaret A. (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the winged section. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Still a solid purchase.
Sheri Gillespie (verified owner) –
The detail on this canvas is what sold me. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. I’ve gotten so many compliments on it. Worth it despite the small things.
Lori F. –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.

Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. It was worth every evening I spent on it. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. I’d recommend it with that one note.

Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. The colors tie the room together. The winged element makes it feel personal. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Stephanie B. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the butterfly section. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Very pleased with how it came together. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Would order again despite the small issues.
Caleb Rogers (verified owner) –
I don’t usually leave reviews but this one deserved it. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. It looks like a gallery piece now that it’s framed. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Henry Vargas (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. There’s enough margin on the edges for framing. Looks lovely framed and hung up. The butterfly piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Roman Robles –
This showed up faster than I expected and I started it the same night. The tray and tweezers included were better than I expected. Nice mindful project – you can’t think about much else while you’re placing drills. The sorting tray is shallow, drills spill out if you’re not careful. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Kay Barnes (verified owner) –
This is the largest kit I’ve done and it turned out beautifully. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. Overall a good experience.
Troy Livingston (verified owner) –
I bought this for the detail work — it doesn’t feel repetitive. Symbols are readable even in the busiest sections. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Isabella W. (verified owner) –
Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. It’s framed and hanging in our the hallway now. Would order again despite the small issues.
Josh Blankenship (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. If you like butterfly designs, this is a good example. Nothing was crushed or bent in transit. The work is repetitive in a good way. The symbols are small in the detailed areas. It’s framed and on the wall now. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Gabriela D. –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. I picked the winged version and the colors are lovely. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Rowena Green (verified owner) –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. The printed symbols in one dense area were a little tight. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. A good buy, with one or two caveats.
Leo Townsend (verified owner) –
Bigger than it looks in the photos, which was a nice surprise. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. I went with the winged version and the colors are lovely. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. It’s hanging in the porch now and looks great. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Jaime Harper (verified owner) –
The finished size makes a real statement on the wall. The canvas is a good weight with a detailed print underneath. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Geoffrey Walsh (verified owner) –
This was my first diamond painting kit and I’m officially hooked. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. It brightens the whole hallway. Pre-sorted drills would save time. Overall happy, just a few small things.
