Why This Flower and Bird Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
A bird perched on a flowering branch, head turned, with open blooms running along the stem and a few loose petals falling gives this Flower and Bird design its structure, soft blush and cream blooms with warm brown branch and blue-grey plumage gives it its colour, and delicate and lively is what you end up with. Bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif. It fits a kitchen with an open shelf and a reason to fill it. Designed for living rooms and hallways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP22-2. bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif, and that is the standard the rest of the piece is held to.
bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif. Which is what makes it easy to live with in living rooms and hallways long after it is finished.
This is a DOTZSO tray kit for anyone who wants a useful piece of homeware at the end of it. The kit includes the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial steps.
A tray stays out on the counter if it can take a hot mug. That is what the sealed surface and solid body are for.
Full drill across the base keeps the finish consistent from handle to handle.

How to Make It
- Lay the printed tray face flat and let it settle before starting.
- 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 across the whole tray.
- Continue until the face is covered, then press the finished surface flat with a book for an hour to seat every drill.
- Seal the surface fully before the tray goes into service, or the drills will lift under a plate.
Take it one colour at a time, and let the finished tray move onto the counter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does everything for the Flower and Bird design come in one order?
Yes. The Flower and Bird wooden tray kit ships complete with the wooden tray and cut-in handles; you drill the printed face and then the tray goes into service, plus the DOTZSO resin drills, tray, applicator pen, wax caddy and pictorial instructions. Nothing else needs sourcing. Reference CP22-2.
Is the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit built to be handled, or is it delicate?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Flower and Bird design holds under normal use. The surface is sealed, so it handles mugs and plates in normal use. Very hot pans straight from the hob are another matter — use a trivet, and the sealing step is the single biggest factor in how long the finish lasts. Give the seal a full cure and the Flower and Bird finish will hold.
How do I freshen up the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit?
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 Flower and Bird palette, soft blush and cream blooms tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. Avoid abrasive pads, which would dull the Flower and Bird surface.
Does the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit have complete drill work?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Flower and Bird artwork is drawn so that a bird perched on a flowering branch reads clearly at any distance. The Flower and Bird design is worked without breaks in coverage.
How much time should I set aside for the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit?
Plan for a few sessions rather than one. Working a single colour block at a time is faster than moving across the tray at random. The Flower and Bird design is delicate and lively, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. The Flower and Bird pattern is easy to work in short bursts.
How do the Flower and Bird sizes compare?
The range covers 7.8 × 11.8 in, 9.8 × 13.8 in and 12.2 × 16.1 in, so there is a format for a bedside table or a full dinner service. This listing is the 12.2×16.1 in format. Reference CP22-2.

Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Would order again despite the small issues.

Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Everyone who sees it asks how long it took. The wax ran out before I finished and I had to use my own. Still worth it overall.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. Really happy with the end result. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
GardenClubGwen –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. I’ll be buying more from this shop. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
WinterWindowArt –
This was a useful project that also happens to be pretty. The pen and wax worked fine, I didn’t need to dig out my own tools. The tray included is on the small side. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Would recommend it with those notes.
Gretchen Ewing –
I wanted something I could pick up for twenty minutes at a time. Nice finish on the wood, not rough or unfinished. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. The floral palette works really well with the design. I wish the instructions went into a bit more detail for a first-timer. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
Max Odonnell (verified owner) –
This was a step up from the smaller kits and I enjoyed it. The size is right for the space I had in mind. The printed chart could have been a touch larger. I spread it over a week and enjoyed every session. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Harold Brown –
I bought this tray for the bathroom and it made the whole counter look better. The drills are bright and consistent in size, no weird off-color batches. Genuinely peaceful to work on one row at a time. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. It looks beautiful with a candle and a book on it. If you like bloom designs, this is a good example. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Conor Rowe (verified owner) –
Ordered this after seeing it on a friend’s shelf. The drills are set evenly across the whole surface. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. It’s on the coffee table and gets used every morning. Overall happy, just a few small things.
Russell Bergeron (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. The tray has real weight to it, feels like serveware. The box arrived a bit dented, though nothing inside was damaged. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Still worth it overall.
Jan Morgan (verified owner) –
Saw a finished version online and tracked down this kit the same day. The corners are finished cleanly with no gaps. The work never felt like a chore. I’d have liked a slightly longer chart, but it was workable. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. The flower motif is what drew me in. Still a solid purchase.
Gwen Bell (verified owner) –
Came quickly and was packaged really well. The kit came with a comfortable pen and enough wax for the whole project. Perfect for winding down before bed, much better than watching another show. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. I keep remotes and candles on it when it’s not in use. Still a solid purchase.

Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. The rim is deep enough to actually hold things. It sits on the entry table and catches keys and mail. The packaging arrived a little dented. Would order again despite the small issues.
Brian T. (verified owner) –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. Really happy with the end result. Only small gripe is that a few drills had little burrs on them. Would order again despite the small issues.
Pablo Mueller (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. The base is flat and doesn’t rock on the table. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. I went with the bloom version and the colors are lovely. The multi-placer tip took some practice. Very pleased with how it came together. Worth it despite the small things.
Naomi Newton (verified owner) –
Picked this up to try something different and really enjoyed it. Handles make it easy to carry from the kitchen to the couch. The bloom motif makes it feel special. I worked on this during my lunch breaks and it made the days feel better. Gave it to my granddaughter as a gift and it was a big hit. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.

Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. Handles make it easy to carry from the kitchen to the couch. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. Would order again despite the small issues.

Ordered this for a quiet weekend and it delivered. It’s on the coffee table and gets used every morning. Took me a while to get the hang of the multi-placer tip. Still a good kit overall.
Vicky Duncan (verified owner) –
This was my first tray kit and I’d do another. Handles are cut well and comfortable to actually carry. Instructions were minimal, though it’s easy enough to figure out. It came out better than the product photos suggested. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Elise Rice (verified owner) –
Bought it to have something to look forward to after work. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. The flower artwork comes together beautifully as you work. Keeps my hands busy during long flights and hotel evenings. I’ll be ordering from this shop again. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Dana Goldberg (verified owner) –
Wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m very happy with it. The surface is flat and level, glasses don’t wobble. I keep it set up on a side table and do a bit whenever I have ten minutes. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’ll set wet glasses on it. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Violet Wiley (verified owner) –
This is a genuinely nice kit for the money. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. The floral artwork comes together beautifully as you work. Great for unwinding after a busy week. Still worth it overall.

Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. Surface is flat and level, glasses don’t wobble on it. Nothing arrived damaged, and everything was sealed properly. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. This one might be my favorite finish yet. The wood arrived with one small scuff on the side. Good kit — the notes above are minor.
