About This Butterfly Design
This one works 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 into a Butterfly composition, coloured in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The effect is delicate and alive and unfussy. 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 appeals to anyone who has tried a craft kit and wants a better-made one. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4328. Wing panels are worked as separate colour zones, so the shimmer shifts as you move past the finished piece That is the detail that separates this from a generic Butterfly print.
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.
DOTZSO makes these kits so the evening passes without a screen and the wall ends up with something on it. What arrives: a colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial guidance.
The finished surface is only as good as the placement. Working methodically through the colour blocks is what gives the canvas its even, sharp finish.
Each of the 1 canvases has its own printed key, so nothing needs to be guessed.

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 it section by section, then frame the finished piece and hang it properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this diamond painting kit contain the full Butterfly 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 Q4328.
Will the Butterfly diamond painting kit look the same after a year of 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 main variable is how well the final sealing pass is done.
How should the Butterfly surface be handled during cleaning?
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. Wipe along the drill lines rather than across them.
Is the whole Butterfly surface drilled, or only the subject?
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. There are no unworked sections on the Butterfly piece.
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit a quick make or a longer project?
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 is a comfortable multi-session project.
Can the Butterfly diamond painting kit be a first diamond painting?
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. There is nothing missing from the box.

This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. The packaging was a little crushed on one corner. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.

I wanted something I could pick up for twenty minutes at a time. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute. It was worth every evening I spent on it. The wax was a little stiff at first. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.

The detail on this canvas is really nice up close. Finished piece looks even better in person than in the listing photos. Took longer than the estimated time, but that’s on me. Happy enough that I’d buy another.

Bought this because the design has real depth to it. The fabric is pleasant to work on and doesn’t fray at the edges. A peaceful project that fits into whatever time you have. Looks lovely framed and hung up. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Would buy again; the notes are minor.
Wei G. (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The canvas feels substantial, not thin or flimsy. Really proud to have this hanging in the house. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. Still worth it overall.

I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. Edges have enough margin for framing. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Jordan Strickland (verified owner) –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The winged pattern is what made me choose this one. I pressed it under books overnight before starting. The canvas laid flat after a day under a couple of books. Made this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. Worth it, just go in with the right expectations.
Lana Lord (verified owner) –
I’ve done smaller kits and this felt like a proper project. Made this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. If you like butterfly designs, this is a good example. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Would still recommend it.
Derrick S. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The canvas feels substantial, not thin or flimsy. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. If you like winged designs, this is a good one to go for. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Veronica Cline (verified owner) –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. It looks far more detailed than the kit suggested. The symbols are quite small in the detailed areas. Still a good kit overall.
Shannon Patton (verified owner) –
Ordered this after seeing it on a friend’s shelf. Plenty of margin around the edges for framing or trimming. I’d have liked a paper chart as well as the printed one. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. Happy with it despite the small stuff.
Maria Hood (verified owner) –
This kept me busy through the whole winter. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. It looks like real art in a simple frame. A couple of the symbols were close enough to double-check. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Rickey Reed (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. Symbol letters are small but legible, and the legend helped a lot. Pre-sorted drills would save time. I did this with my best friend on the weekends and we both got into it. Worth it despite the small things.
Lydia Wolf (verified owner) –
This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Legend is printed on the canvas itself, which I find handy. The packaging arrived a little dented. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Elaine Locke (verified owner) –
I bought this for the detail work — it doesn’t feel repetitive. The butterfly detail is impressive up close. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Very pleased with how it came together. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Oscar Cooper (verified owner) –
Took me about a month of evenings and I’d do it again. The canvas didn’t dry out over the weeks I worked on it. I do a section after work with a cup of tea and it’s a nice way to unwind. The adhesive attracted a little dust over the weeks. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Andrew Hughes (verified owner) –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. The kit came complete, nothing extra needed from the craft store. This one is going straight on the wall. The adhesive attracted a little dust over the weeks. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Perry Simon (verified owner) –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. Once it was framed it really pulled the room together. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. This is a lovely butterfly piece for the price. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Bonnie Williamson (verified owner) –
Bought this as a birthday present to myself. It fills the wall above the sofa beautifully. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Would order again despite the small issues.
Krista Ferguson –
Arrived well packed and ready to start. The butterfly palette works really well with the design. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. Gave it to my daughter as a gift and it went over really well. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
