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 is for people who relax through repetitive, hands-busy work. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4326. Wing panels are worked as separate colour zones, so the shimmer shifts as you move past the finished piece Put simply, butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it.
butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. Placed in hallways and entryways, it reads as part of the room rather than an addition to it.

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.
Finish it at an unhurried pace, then frame it — the canvas is built to be displayed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is anything in the diamond painting kit sold separately?
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 Q4326.
How does the Butterfly diamond painting kit perform long term?
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. Regular use does not compromise the Butterfly surface.
Does the Butterfly finish need any special treatment?
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. Dust with a dry cloth rather than a wet one where possible.
How even is the coverage on the Butterfly diamond painting kit?
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 whole Butterfly surface carries the drilled finish.
How demanding is the Butterfly project 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. Expect the Butterfly piece to span several relaxed sessions.
How much practice does the Butterfly diamond painting kit need?
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 further to source before starting.

The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. I found it really peaceful to focus on one small area at a time. The glue picked up a bit of dust over the weeks I worked on it. Once it was framed it really pulled the room together. Overall a good experience.

This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Made this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. Still worth it overall.
Holly Cassidy (verified owner) –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. The fabric is pleasant to work on and doesn’t fray at the edges. I’d have preferred more spare drills in the least-used color. The butterfly piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
Pearl Lyons (verified owner) –
The finished size makes a real statement on the wall. It turned out better than I pictured. The tray was smaller than I’d like for a big session. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Terrence Emery (verified owner) –
I ordered this to fill a blank wall in the hallway. The canvas didn’t dry out over the weeks I worked on it. It was worth every evening I put into it. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Still a solid purchase.
Virgil Conner (verified owner) –
I ordered this the day after finishing my last project. The canvas grid lines are printed clearly enough to keep count. The canvas arrived rolled tightly and needed a night to flatten. It looks like real art in a simple frame. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Thomas S. (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The canvas is a good weight and the print underneath is detailed. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. Already ordered another one from DOTZSO. Would order again despite the small issues.
Becky Shea (verified owner) –
This is my fourth kit from DOTZSO and the quality is holding up. The printed colors underneath match the drills closely. I put on an audiobook and worked through it in a few sittings. Definitely ordering more as gifts. I wish the instructions went into a bit more detail for a first-timer. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Colors match the listing photo really closely. It was worth every evening I spent on it. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Albert Clayton –
Been doing these for about two years and this kit is solid. The higher color count really shows in the finished piece. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Still a solid purchase.
Joann Rivera (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. Extra drills were included for every color, which I appreciated. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. It’s hanging in the lake house now and looks great. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Esther Gray (verified owner) –
I’ve had my eye on this design since last season. The drills cover edge to edge with no bald spots. I gave one to my parents and they were speechless. The wax ran low before I finished the last section. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Candace Franklin –
Was looking for something to do with my hands in the evenings. The winged piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. Nice to have something that gets me off my phone for a while. It’s framed and hanging in our the stairwell now. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Denise Bennett (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The colors tie the room together. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Good enough that I’d buy another.
DiamondDawnCrafts (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. The butterfly element makes it feel personal. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. One section had a lot of similar shades, which slowed me down. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. Would recommend it with those notes.
Daniel V. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. It’s hanging in the kitchen now and looks great. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Valeria Greene (verified owner) –
The color range on this one is impressive. Symbols are readable even in the busiest sections. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. Still worth it overall.
Victoria Baker (verified owner) –
Bought this for the living room wall and it was worth the time. The canvas is a good weight with a detailed print underneath. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. It’s the nicest thing I’ve made so far. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
TwoCatsAndCrafts (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. Great for unwinding after a busy week. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Really proud to have this hanging in the house. Would still recommend it.
Marie R. (verified owner) –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. It’s hanging in the kitchen now and looks great. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Blake Johns (verified owner) –
I wanted a full-size piece for the wall above the couch. It’s framed and hanging in our at the kitchen table now. The butterfly palette works really well with the design. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
