Step by step: how to draw Attractive Beautiful Design Festivals Easy Rangoli
- Mark the 6-to-6 dot grid — six rows of six dots.
- In the centre draw a large four-petal flower with notched petal tips, a small circle at its heart and a pair of short dashes on each petal.
- On each of the four diagonals draw a fan flower of four rounded petals opening outward towards the corner.
- At the base of each fan flower, facing the centre, draw a small spiral curl and from it radiate four stamen lines, each tipped with a small circle.
- At the outer edge of the corner flowers add small sprigs — a short stem with tiny leaves and dots.
