Why This Bohemian Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
What this Bohemian design does is place a layered boho composition of arches, fringed forms and repeated geometric motifs arranged in loose horizontal bands in terracotta, sand and deep rust with flashes of teal across a warm neutral ground and leave it there. The mood — earthy and relaxed — does the rest. Boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. It is designed for daily service rather than occasional entertaining. 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 CP12-2. boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. That is the part that matters most here.
boho motifs suit rooms built on natural materials, where the earthy palette already does half the work. Which is what makes it easy to live with in living rooms with a warm, natural palette long after it is finished.
DOTZSO builds these tray kits for slow evenings, with a surface sealed for everyday handling. Inside the box you get a printed wooden tray with cut-in handles, DOTZSO resin drills, a sorting tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and pictorial instructions.
The detail most tray kits miss is the seal. It is what keeps the surface usable after the novelty has passed.
The pattern covers the entire base, so the tray looks the same whichever way it is set down.

- 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.
Work at whatever speed you like, then move the finished tray straight into service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bohemian wooden tray kit a complete set for the money?
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 CP12-2.
Does the Bohemian wooden tray kit maintain its finish under normal conditions?
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. There is nothing brittle about the finished Bohemian piece.
How often should the Bohemian wooden tray kit be cleaned?
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. Nothing abrasive should touch the Bohemian surface.
Is the Bohemian piece completely drilled?
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. The whole Bohemian surface carries the drilled finish.
How quickly can the Bohemian design be completed?
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. The Bohemian piece can be paused at any point.
Which Bohemian size is the most popular?
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 CP12-2.

Made this for our coffee table and get compliments on it constantly. Good weight to the materials, it doesn’t feel cheap. Finish is even and the whole thing looks tidy once you’re done. The adhesive picked up a bit of dust while I was working over several days. Great way to slow down at the end of a busy day. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Happy with it, with a few caveats.

Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. I use it for serving when we have guests and it always gets noticed. Would make a great gift too.
