Why This Bohemian Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
The Bohemian motif reads as a layered boho composition of arches, fringed forms and repeated geometric motifs arranged in loose horizontal bands here, cleared of clutter and coloured in terracotta, sand and deep rust with flashes of teal across a warm neutral ground. The mood is earthy and relaxed, and it holds. Boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. It is for makers who prefer a project that improves the room when it is finished. Designed for living rooms with a warm, natural palette, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP11. boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work That constraint is what gives the artwork its shape.
boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. In living rooms with a warm, natural palette the earthy register means it never has to compete for the eye.
DOTZSO makes these trays for people who would rather serve on something made than something bought. What is in the box: the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and a pictorial instruction sheet.
The tray body is the part that matters. The printed surface is sealed after the drills are seated, so the tray takes hot mugs and plates without marking.
The whole tray face is worked, so no section looks like an afterthought.

What’s in the Box
- 1 × printed wooden tray with cut-in handles
- DOTZSO signature resin drills, sorted by colour (with extra drills included)
- Diamond painting tray
- Comfort-grip applicator pen
- Wax caddy
- Pictorial step-by-step instructions
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.
Complete it over a few sessions, then let the tray settle into everyday use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bohemian wooden tray kit delivered as one complete package?
Yes. The Bohemian 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 CP11.
How durable is the finished Bohemian wooden tray kit?
Once the drills are seated and the surface is sealed, the Bohemian 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. Light contact and normal carrying cause no lift on the Bohemian surface.
How should I clean the Bohemian 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 Bohemian palette, terracotta, sand and deep rust tones show dust less than pale grounds, so a light pass is usually enough. A dry, soft cloth handles the routine dusting.
Is the Bohemian surface drilled as one field?
The face is drilled across the whole surface, so the finished tray has complete coverage without bare wood showing. The Bohemian artwork is drawn so that a layered boho composition of arches reads clearly at any distance. There is no printed fill showing through on the Bohemian design.
How long will the Bohemian wooden tray kit take overall?
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 Bohemian design is earthy and relaxed, which tends to make it easier to work in short sessions. It works well as an ongoing project.
How does sizing work across the Bohemian range?
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 9.8×13.8 in format. Reference CP11.

Katherine M. (verified owner) –
Bought it as a starter kit for myself and it worked out great. The wood base has a nice weight to it, feels like real serveware. I work on it while listening to an audiobook and the time just disappears. Easy recommendation.
Kayla L. (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. The drilled panel is recessed so it’s protected from spills. Gave it to my sister as a gift and it was a big hit. Five stars from me.

Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. The drills sit nice and flush, no gaps showing the surface underneath. Did most of it over a long weekend and it was such a pleasant way to pass the time. Great value for what you get. Loved it, no regrets.
Yuki P. (verified owner) –
This one caught my eye and I’m glad it did. Size is right for two mugs and a small plate. The wood arrived with one small scuff on the side. I do it at the kitchen table while dinner simmers. Really nice piece to have out when people come over. Overall a good experience.
Ann T. (verified owner) –
Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Nice finish on the wood, not rough or unfinished. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Still worth it overall.

Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. Gave it to my best friend as a gift and it was a big hit. Great kit, no complaints.
Jeffrey Arellano (verified owner) –
The wood base makes this feel like real decor. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. Shipping took a bit longer than the estimate. I got through it faster than I thought I would. I gave one to my sister and she immediately ordered her own. Still worth it overall.
EveningDrills (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. The surface is flat and level, glasses don’t wobble. One small scuff on the wood when it arrived. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. I’ll be buying more from this shop. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Ronald Berger (verified owner) –
I ordered this for my dresser and it’s become a centerpiece. The base is flat and sits steady on the counter. Keeps my hands busy while I watch something. Already looking at what to get next.
Reginald Kessler –
Ordered it after seeing one a friend finished, and I get the appeal now. The drills came in labeled bags, which made sorting painless. The handles make it genuinely useful, not just decorative. Easy recommendation.
Cynthia Wood –
I use mine for morning coffee and it’s held up well. The handles make it genuinely practical, not just decorative. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Gina Burgess (verified owner) –
I added this to my cart at 11pm and had zero regrets the next morning. The tray and tweezers included were better than I expected. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. One bag of drills had come open in transit. It’s the kind of thing guests notice right away. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Edgar Roy (verified owner) –
This tray kit felt like a real step up from the flat canvases. Everything needed to finish was in the box, nothing extra to buy. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I found it genuinely enjoyable rather than just something to finish. Really nice piece to have out when people come over. Worth every penny.
Jeffrey N. (verified owner) –
I’m a repeat DOTZSO customer at this point and this kit did not disappoint. Wood feels solid, much better than the thin pressed board I’ve seen. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. My friends all want one now. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
NanaMakesGifts (verified owner) –
I ordered this the day after finishing my last project. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. It’s made the space feel deliberately styled. Would definitely buy again.
Owen Buck (verified owner) –
Made this as a wedding gift and it was a big hit. The base is flat and doesn’t rock on the table. Drill colors are well separated, no squinting to tell two shades apart. I brought it on a week at the lake and finished most of it there. It’s the kind of thing people ask about when they see it. Will definitely be back.
EmptyNesterElla (verified owner) –
I’ve been doing these for about a year and this is a solid kit. Everything I needed was in the box – pen, wax, tray and tweezers. Makes a lovely breakfast-in-bed tray. This shop has a repeat customer in me.
Jonathan Preston (verified owner) –
I picked this up for the entryway table and it’s perfect there. The canvas arrived flat rather than rolled tight. The drills have a nice sparkle to them, not dull or flat. Perfect for slow evenings when you don’t want more screen time. Looks beautiful on the coffee table with a candle on it. Really glad I bought it.
Elmer Pace (verified owner) –
My sister got me into these and this is my latest one. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. It’s a lovely quiet hobby, and I like having something to show for it at the end. I use it for serving when we have guests and it always gets noticed. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Wesley Morse (verified owner) –
Bought this to hold the remotes and it’s a huge improvement. The base is flat and sits steady on the counter. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. The work is repetitive in a good way. The result looks handmade in the best way. Would still recommend it.

Made this as a wedding gift and it was a big hit. It adds a nice handmade touch to the room. Exactly what I wanted.
Lydia Kearney –
Heavier and nicer in person than it looked online. The finish looks polished rather than homemade. It’s organized the whole surface with one addition. The rim could be a touch deeper. Would order again despite the small issues.
Grant Harvey (verified owner) –
The wood base is much sturdier than I expected. The tweezers included were actually good quality. It’s become my evening ritual – an hour of this and I feel settled. The colors work beautifully with the room. Recommended without hesitation.

Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. I use it for serving when we have guests and it always gets noticed. Loved it, no regrets.
Rupert Levy (verified owner) –
Ordered two so my sister and I could work on them side by side. The rim is deep enough to actually hold things. I did most of it over a lazy weekend and enjoyed every minute. The finished work looks considered, not like a craft project. Some colors had very few spare drills. Good enough that I’d buy another.
Josephine Vega (verified owner) –
This was my first tray kit and I’d do another. A really satisfying project from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier with it.
