Why This Flower and Bird Tray Earns Its Place on the Table
This Flower and Bird artwork takes a bird perched on a flowering branch, head turned, with open blooms running along the stem and a few loose petals falling as its theme and soft blush and cream blooms with warm brown branch and blue-grey plumage as its range. The register is delicate and lively, start to finish. Bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif. It is for anyone tired of trays that warp or blister within a season. Designed for living rooms and hallways, it holds up as decor rather than as something you finish and put in a drawer. Reference CP22-1. Bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif The colour is not decoration here; it is the structure.
bird-and-bloom compositions are a classic pairing that never feels crowded, which is why they remain a staple motif. Which is exactly what a piece meant for living rooms and hallways should do.
A DOTZSO tray is meant to be worked at an easy pace and then actually used to carry things. The package contains the printed wooden tray, DOTZSO resin drills, a tray, a comfort-grip applicator pen, a wax caddy and a full pictorial guide.
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.
Edge-to-edge drilling on the base is what stops the tray looking unfinished at the corners.

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.
Work at whatever speed you like, then move the finished tray straight into service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ships alongside the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit?
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 CP22-1.
How durable is the finished Flower and Bird wooden tray kit?
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. Sealing is the step that decides the Flower and Bird finish’s lifespan.
Is the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit easy to wipe down?
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. Handle the Flower and Bird piece with dry hands where possible.
Is the Flower and Bird design drilled as a whole?
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 leaves nothing unworked at the margins.
How long will the Flower and Bird wooden tray kit keep me occupied?
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 design is paced, not rushed.
How do the Flower and Bird sizes compare in practice?
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 CP22-1.

Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. There were extra drills left over in every color when I finished. It’s my go-to when I want something enjoyable that doesn’t take much thought. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Derrick J. (verified owner) –
Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. Wood feels solid, much better than the thin pressed board I’ve seen. Glue coverage was even, no dry patches anywhere. A couple of the darker shades were hard to tell apart in low light. I take it to my book club and work on it while we chat. It sits on the entry table and catches keys and mail. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Jacob Coles –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. The drill panel sits flush with the tray surface. I listened to a podcast and the time went by without noticing. Instructions were pretty minimal, though there are plenty of tutorials online. Worth it despite the small things.
Pamela K. (verified owner) –
The handles make it feel like real serveware, not just a craft. My friends all want one now. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
RockyMtnMakes (verified owner) –
Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. The base is flat and doesn’t rock on the table. The drilled panel sits slightly proud of the rim. Really nice piece to have out when people come over. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Trent Browning (verified owner) –
Second time ordering this style, still happy with it. The wood base has a nice weight to it, feels like real serveware. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. Would buy again; the notes are minor.
Mackenzie C. (verified owner) –
Really nice kit, especially for the money. Handles are cut well and comfortable to actually carry. It fits perfectly with the decor in the bedroom. The wood arrived with one small scuff on the side. Worth buying, just plan for those small quirks.
Ivan Bryan –
Bought this after finishing my last kit and it was a good call. The backing held up fine and didn’t peel anywhere. Some colors came with barely any extras, though I didn’t run out. Nice to have a hobby that leaves you calmer than you started. It holds up to a close look, which matters more than I expected. Minor quibbles aside, I’d buy it again.
Donna G. (verified owner) –
Really impressed with how solid the tray feels. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. It’s a slow, quiet hobby and I like that about it. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. I use it for serving when we have guests and it always gets noticed. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
PeachStatePearls (verified owner) –
I’ve wanted a tray like this for a while. The flower element makes it feel personal. I wish the printed legend was a little bigger. The handles make it genuinely useful, not just decorative. Would still recommend it.
William Bonner (verified owner) –
Gave one to my in-laws and they display it proudly. The wood base has a nice weight to it, feels like real serveware. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. The handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. The floral palette works really well with the design. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
Dana May (verified owner) –
Bought it as a housewarming gift and it was a hit. The wood is thick and finished smoothly, no splinters anywhere. I’ve been doing it in the evenings with my partner, we take turns on sections. One small scuff on the wood when it arrived. Small issues, but nothing that would stop me ordering again.
Shelley Franklin (verified owner) –
Bought this as a birthday present to myself. If this style appeals to you, it delivers. The drill shapes were clean, not many chipped or stuck-together pieces. It’s my go-to when I need a quiet evening. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. The handles make it genuinely useful, not just decorative. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Monica Stanton (verified owner) –
Heavier and nicer in person than it looked online. Nice finish on the wood, not rough or unfinished. Really relaxing to do in the evening instead of scrolling. It looks beautiful with a candle and a book on it. One small scuff on the wood when it arrived. Happy with it, with a few caveats.
Sonya Smith (verified owner) –
I’ve bought from this shop a few times now and this is another good one. The tray has real weight to it, feels like serveware. Each color was packed generously, I had plenty to spare. I set it up next to the window and do a few rows whenever the light is good. Made one for my mother-in-law and she was delighted. Some colors had very few spare drills. Happy enough that I’d buy another.
Hilda Burnham (verified owner) –
Ordered two of these and gave one away as a gift. The edges are sealed so nothing catches on them. Quiet Sunday mornings with this and a coffee is my favorite part of the week. The rim could be a touch deeper. The bloom motif is what drew me in. This one might be my favorite finish yet. Would still recommend it.
Elizabeth Finley (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. The adhesive held well across several weeks of working on it. Made one for my mother-in-law and she was delighted. The flower palette works really well with the design. Handles are a bit narrow for larger hands. Still a good kit overall.
ProjectPiler (verified owner) –
The wood base is much sturdier than I expected. The handles make it genuinely easy to carry. Really calming, repetitive work, and satisfying when a section is finished. The adhesive picked up lint over the days I worked on it. It adds a nice handmade touch to the room. Happy with it despite the small stuff.
Nellie Chapman (verified owner) –
Such an easy kit to get going with. The sparkle on these drills is genuinely nice. It’s the kind of hobby that makes an evening feel well spent. Wish it came with a protective finish already applied. A solid purchase with a couple of notes.
Tyrone Odom (verified owner) –
Was looking for something to do with my hands in the evenings. Everything felt well made, from the tools to the drills. I do this on the porch in the summer and it’s lovely. Not something I’d put in the dishwasher or soak, obviously. The flower pattern is what made me choose this one. Still a good kit overall.
Kay Mullins (verified owner) –
Bought this to do with my daughter on rainy days. Holds two mugs and a plate easily. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’re putting wet glasses on it. Would order again despite the small issues.
Margie Dodd –
This arrived in perfect condition, nothing bent or spilled. The handles are cut comfortably and easy to grip. Great gift for anyone who likes hosting. The floral motif makes it feel special. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. Would still recommend it.
Shari Baxter (verified owner) –
Made one for my sister and now she wants the kit too. The wax and pen that came with it worked fine right out of the box. The legend was easy to follow and matched the canvas printing. The pen that came with it is a bit flimsy, I swapped in my own. I did this with my book club on the weekends and we both got into it. The final result has a nice depth to it. Good kit overall, just a couple of small things.
Lauren Kidd (verified owner) –
Exactly what the listing described, no surprises. It’s sized right for two mugs and a small plate. The corners collect a little dust that’s fiddly to reach. I found the repetition genuinely calming rather than tedious. If you like floral designs, this is a good example. Still glad I ordered it overall.
Jeremy Estes (verified owner) –
Ordered this as a small pick-me-up and it worked. The surface is flat and level, glasses don’t wobble. It’s a good way to slow down at the end of the day. You’ll want to seal it yourself if you’ll set wet glasses on it. It sits by the door catching keys and mail. Mild quibbles, but a good purchase.
