Step by step: how to draw 5×5 Dots Easy Door Step Kolam

1. Mark the 5-to-5 dot grid — five rows of five dots.
2. In the centre draw a flower of four loop petals around a dot, with a midrib in each petal, and set a spiral curl in each gap between the petals.
3. Enclose the flower in a square, then draw a hatched diamond on each of its four sides.
4. Draw an outer square frame around the diamonds, cutting across each corner so the frame has eight sides.
5. On each of the four corners draw a star of straight spokes ending in dots, and curl its two outermost spokes into spirals.
6. Re-trace the outlines in white.
