About This Butterfly Design
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 forms the subject of this Butterfly piece, worked in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The character is delicate and alive, and it stays that way at any distance. 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 aimed at makers who want a canvas detailed enough to frame rather than store. Designed for hallways and entryways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference Q4213. butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it, and the treatment of the colour is what carries 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. That is what puts it at home in hallways and entryways, with the delicate tone of the colours carrying the room.
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 1 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
Does the Butterfly diamond painting kit cover everything from start to finish?
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 Q4213.
Will the Butterfly design wear well over time?
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 Butterfly surface takes everyday use in its stride.
What is the best way to keep the Butterfly diamond painting kit tidy?
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. A soft dry brush is the safest tool for the Butterfly texture.
Does the Butterfly diamond painting kit cover the whole face with drills?
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 is no printed fill showing through on the Butterfly design.
Does the Butterfly diamond painting kit suit someone with limited free time?
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. Break it into short sessions and it never feels long.
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit beginner friendly?
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. Everything is supplied in the one pack.

This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. Once it was framed it really pulled the room together. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Abigail R. –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Minor things, but I’d still buy it again.
Arthur Dell (verified owner) –
I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket and this was the pick. The printed canvas is genuinely crisp, even in the dense areas. It’s the sort of project that makes an evening feel well spent. It would help to include a larger paper chart. It looks far more detailed than the kit suggested. Would still recommend it.
Scot Doyle (verified owner) –
I’ve done smaller kits and this felt like a proper project. The glue is tacky enough to reposition a misplaced drill. A few drills had rough edges that needed picking off. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Kayla Hood (verified owner) –
Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. The fabric has a good weight to it and hangs flat. The winged motif makes it feel special. Great for unwinding after a busy week. The canvas had a faint mark from the printing on one edge. Once it was framed it really pulled the room together. Would order again despite the small issues.
Shane J. (verified owner) –
I’ve done a handful of these now and this one is up there with the best. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. It’s the kind of project that feels creative without being stressful. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Theresa Chisholm –
This was a bigger project and I loved every evening of it. There’s enough white space at the border for framing without cropping. I pressed it under books overnight before starting. Nice mindful work that keeps you present. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Lynda Tyler (verified owner) –
I’ve done smaller kits and this felt like a proper project. The canvas laid flat after a day under a couple of books. It’s the kind of task that quiets a busy mind. I’d have liked a paper chart as well as the printed one. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Still worth it overall.
Angelo Flood (verified owner) –
I framed mine and it looks like a real painting. It’s framed and hanging in the living room. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart. Would order again despite the small issues.
VinylAndDiamonds (verified owner) –
The detail on this canvas is really nice up close. Edges have enough margin for framing. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Still a solid purchase.
Everett Bowman (verified owner) –
Took me a few weeks of evenings and I loved every minute. It looks stunning in natural light. Pre-sorted drills would save time. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Margarita Sargent (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. Everything was bagged and labeled, so setup took five minutes. I got through it faster than I thought I would. The packaging was a little plain for a gift. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. I’d recommend it with that one note.
Rosario Hansen (verified owner) –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. The chart on the side of the canvas is clear and easy to follow. The canvas arrived rolled tightly and needed a night to flatten. I found it a nice counterweight to a screen-heavy day. Still worth it overall.
Ariana Powers (verified owner) –
This is the largest kit I’ve done and it turned out beautifully. Colors are distinct enough that I never mixed two shades up. The butterfly artwork comes together beautifully as you work. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. It looks stunning in natural light. Still a solid purchase.
Alexis Houston (verified owner) –
Ordered this as a small pick-me-up and it worked. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. Pre-sorted drills would save time. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Jimmy Price (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. I gave one to my parents and they were speechless. The adhesive attracted a little dust over the weeks. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Stacie Mcbride (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing. I went with the butterfly version and the colors are lovely. I work on it after dinner and it helps me switch off. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
Larry T. (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. I love how the butterfly colors turned out. Still worth it overall.
Jesse Coleman (verified owner) –
Bought this as a centerpiece project for the season. This one is going straight on the wall. The butterfly artwork looks great up on the wall. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. Happy with it, with one small caveat.
Deanna Goodman (verified owner) –
Bought this to do with my daughter on rainy days. The large format makes a real statement when finished. Took longer than the estimated time, but that’s on me. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. I’d order again, just knowing what to expect.
