Step by step: how to draw Easy Apartment Muggulu

1. Mark a 3-by-3 square of widely spaced dots.
2. On each of the four corner dots draw a flower of four pointed petals around a small ring, with two short strokes inside every petal.
3. On the centre dot draw a smaller flower of four rounded, notched petals around a dotted ring, again with two strokes in each petal.
4. Link neighbouring corner flowers with curving vines that pass through the dot at the middle of each side and end in spirals.
5. Along each side add a striped leaf beside the spiral curls.
6. Beyond each outer corner fan short lines from the flower to a small looped bud with a dot centre.
