Step by step: how to draw 7 Se 7 Dots Rangoli for Learners

1. Mark the 7-to-7 square dot grid.
2. In the centre draw an eight-pointed star of straight lines — four arms on the vertical and horizontal, four on the diagonals.
3. At the end of each diagonal arm draw a small square and fill it with a criss-cross lattice.
4. On the top, bottom, left and right draw a large double-outlined heart with its point toward the centre.
5. Place a spiral curl inside each of the four hearts.
6. Between neighbouring hearts, beyond each lattice square, draw a small three-loop bud on each of the four diagonals.
