Step by step: how to draw Daily Small Rangoli Designs

  1. Mark a small diamond-shaped dot grid of straight rows around a centre dot.
  2. Draw four long pointed petals around the centre — one above, below, left and right — each enclosing a single dot.
  3. In the centre draw a small diamond around the centre dot and frame it with a four-pointed star of inward-curving double lines.
  4. Turn each petal into a lotus by drawing an inner petal line inside it and a curved side petal on each side of its base.
  5. On each diagonal sweep a curved paisley leaf outward from the side of a lotus in a pinwheel, fill it with a row of dots and add a spiral curl at its base.
  6. Finish the top and bottom lotus tips with a cluster of three small loops.
