About This Butterfly Design
The Butterfly artwork on this canvas frames 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, worked in iridescent blues and violets shifting toward warm orange at the wing edges. The overall character is delicate and alive rather than theatrical. 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 Q4882. 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.
butterfly motifs work in the transitional spaces of a home — the places that do not need a theme, just something with life in it. The delicate colouring is what allows it to sit in hallways and entryways without dominating.
The DOTZSO approach is deliberate: a canvas detailed enough to hang, and a process calm enough to repeat. All of it ships together — colour-printed canvas, DOTZSO resin drills, tray, comfort-grip pen, wax caddy and illustrated instructions.
The canvas is printed with a clear symbol and colour key, which removes the guesswork – you match, place, and move on. That is the difference between a relaxing session and a frustrating one.
This is a single-canvas kit, kept self-contained for an uncomplicated evening.

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 at your own speed, then frame the canvas rather than storing it rolled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit delivered as one complete package?
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 Q4882.
Will the Butterfly finish dull or lift with 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. It holds its finish as long as it is not left soaking.
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit dishwasher safe?
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. The Butterfly surface is not built for immersion.
Is the Butterfly diamond painting kit drilled across the whole surface?
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. Nothing on the Butterfly face is left untreated.
Does the Butterfly project take longer than expected?
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. The Butterfly piece can be paused at any point.
Can someone new to crafts do the Butterfly diamond painting kit?
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. No extra purchases are required.

Took it slow, a section at a time, and really enjoyed the process. Colors match the listing photo really closely. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. It fits perfectly with the decor in the living room. Would make a great gift too.

I’ve tried a few brands and this one holds up well. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Gave it to my wife as a gift and it was a big hit. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Wyatt D. (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Nice large format, the finished piece makes a real statement. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. Definitely recommend giving it a try.
Malik V. (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. It’s a charming butterfly piece and everyone comments on it. Nice large format, the finished piece makes a real statement. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. The canvas had a slight crease from shipping, though it flattened out. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Sofia L. (verified owner) –
This kept me busy for a solid month in the best way. It’s framed and hanging in our the Family room now. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Anita W. (verified owner) –
I framed it once finished and it looks like real artwork. Edges have enough margin for framing. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. Very happy with this purchase.
Oscar P. –
I hung it in the hallway and people always ask where I got it. The adhesive is plenty sticky, the drills stay exactly where I put them. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. The butterfly piece really pulls the room together once it’s hung. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Solid kit, would order again.
MidwestMakes (verified owner) –
So glad I added this one to my cart. Gave it to my mom as a gift and it went over really well. Loved it, no regrets.
Julie N. (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. The canvas came rolled, and it flattened out with no creases. The finished piece looks stunning in natural light. Will be back for more.
Sofia D. (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. The winged detail comes together really nicely once it’s finished. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. Great value for what you get. Will be back for more.
Jim Downing (verified owner) –
Ordered on a Monday, had it by the weekend. It was worth every evening I put into it. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Small things aside, it’s a good buy.
Valeria Ludwig (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The fabric is pleasant to work on and doesn’t fray at the edges. It’s the centerpiece of that wall. Would definitely buy from here again.
Leonard Garrison (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. Really pleased with this one.
Jane Yang (verified owner) –
I’m not usually a craft person, but this one converted me. It looks stunning in natural light. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Still a good kit overall.
Kathie Barlow (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. It came rolled and flattened out with no creases. The process was straightforward enough to do while chatting. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Aimee Deaton (verified owner) –
Bought this as a reward for getting through a busy stretch at work. The paper backing peeled away without pulling up any drills. No missing colors and no shortage on the ones used most. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. It’s hanging on the wall and looks fantastic. Will be ordering more for gifts.
Ethan Phillips (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. Symbols are printed clearly even in the busy areas of the winged section. The numbering was consistent across the whole canvas. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. The winged artwork looks great up on the wall. It’s framed and hanging in the living room. A really lovely purchase.
ChurchCraftLady (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Gail Cavanaugh (verified owner) –
Bought this as a centerpiece project for the season. The glue is tacky enough that I can reposition if I misplace a drill. Surprisingly calming, even for someone with a short attention span. There were slightly more drills than needed, so it took longer than planned. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Noah A. (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Legend is printed on the canvas itself, which I find handy. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Will be back for more.
Rachel M. –
This was my first full size canvas and it turned out better than I hoped. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Laurie Myers (verified owner) –
Not my first diamond painting, but one of my favorites. The numbered sections are spaced well, so the work doesn’t feel cramped. I like having a project that doesn’t demand much thought. Great kit, no complaints.
Ava J. (verified owner) –
A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. Nice large format, the finished piece makes a real statement. This is the kind of craft that’s genuinely calming after a hectic day. Five stars from me.
Gabriela Pickett (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. The print quality is sharp and the detail comes through. It’s hung in the bedroom and looks wonderful there. The canvas smell was noticeable for the first day or two. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
Melissa J. (verified owner) –
I picked this up on a whim and ended up really enjoying it. The canvas is a good weight and the print underneath is detailed. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. Exactly what I was hoping for.
WashiAndWax (verified owner) –
This was a birthday gift to myself and it hit the spot. The kit included more than enough drills for the full design. Took longer than the estimated time, but that’s on me. It was a pleasant way to spend a slow afternoon. It’s hanging in on the window seat now and looks great. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Lewis Harbin (verified owner) –
Honestly better quality than I expected for the price. The definition in the fine details holds up well. I did a little at a time and it never felt like a slog. It pulled the color scheme of the room together. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Janis Melton (verified owner) –
This one took some patience but the result is stunning. The winged colors are richer than the photos show. It came rolled and flattened out with no creases. The canvas arrived folded rather than rolled, took a while to flatten. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Betty N. –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Can’t wait to start the next one.
Regina Browne –
The detail on this canvas is what sold me. It’s hung in the bedroom and looks wonderful there. Would recommend to anyone on the fence.
Anita Beasley (verified owner) –
I framed it once finished and it looks like real artwork. It came rolled and flattened out with no creases. It’s my screen-free hour in the evening. Hung it in the hallway and it brightens the whole space. Would have liked the drills pre-sorted by color. Would recommend it with those notes.
Hillary Walls (verified owner) –
I framed mine and it looks like a real painting. The pen grip stayed comfortable through long sessions. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. The finished piece looks stunning in natural light. A really lovely purchase.
DiamondDotsDaily (verified owner) –
Ordered two kits, this was the one I finished first. Full drill coverage means no blank canvas showing through. Once framed it looks like something you’d buy in a gallery. Thumbs up from our whole family.
Jessica Fish (verified owner) –
I bought this for the detail work — it doesn’t feel repetitive. The finish is even across the whole piece. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Really happy with the end result. I chose this one for the butterfly look. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Wendell Lackey (verified owner) –
Came across this while looking for craft ideas and bought it that day. The pen grip stayed comfortable through long sessions. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. I did this with my daughter on the weekends and we both got into it. My friends all want one now. Happy customer here.

A bigger project than I’ve done before, but so worth the time. It gets compliments from everyone who sees it. Worth every penny.

Picked this up during a sale and it was money well spent. It fills the wall above the sofa nicely. I’m a sucker for anything butterfly-themed. Highly recommend.
NightOwlNotions (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. The higher color count really shows in the finished piece. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. It’s framed and on the wall now. Exactly what I was hoping for.
Tanya Escobar (verified owner) –
A friend recommended this shop and I see why. Extra drills were included for every color, which I appreciated. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. I kept it by the window and worked on it in the afternoons. It looks like a gallery piece now that it’s framed. I’d recommend it to a friend.
Tasha Michael (verified owner) –
The printed canvas is crisp and the symbols are easy to read. It’s become one of my favorite things in the house. Exactly what I wanted.

Picked this for the size and stayed for the color range. The canvas is a good weight with a detailed print underneath. Definitely ordering more as gifts. Will be back for more.
Russ Roberts (verified owner) –
Bought this for the living room wall and it was worth the time. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. I worked on this with my mother and we both got absorbed in it. Looks lovely framed and hung up. Will be back for more.
Luther Barnett (verified owner) –
Ordered this to work on through the winter evenings. The canvas rolls flat after a night under a couple of books. The drills are uniform and sit flat with no gaps. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. It turned into something I actually want to display, not shove in a drawer. Completely satisfied.
Gary Byers –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. It’s framed and on the wall now. I had to press the canvas under books overnight before starting. Minor gripes aside, I’d buy it again.
PapaCraftsToo –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. Edges have enough margin for framing. Something about placing the drills is very settling. The butterfly colors are richer than the photos show. Solid choice, no regrets.
Rosie Mcguire (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. The higher color count really shows in the finished piece. Framed in a simple black frame and it looks like real art. Solid kit, would order again.
Nancy Crawford (verified owner) –
Ordered this after finishing a smaller canvas and wanting more detail. The canvas grid lines are printed clearly enough to keep count. I set aside twenty minutes a night for this and it’s become a ritual. It’s hung in the bedroom and looks wonderful there. Glad I finally ordered it.
Homer Goldsmith (verified owner) –
I took a chance on this and it paid off. The canvas printing is crisp and the symbols are easy to read, even in low light. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. It’s up in the hallway and gets noticed. Already looking at what to get next.
