Step by step: how to draw Every Day Morning Rangoli
- Mark the 8-to-8 dot grid — eight rows of eight dots.
- In the centre draw a pinwheel in double lines — four arms that each bend at a right angle, all turning the same way around the middle.
- At the end of each arm draw a slanted trapezoid band and line the inside of its edge facing the corner flower with a row of small scallops — four bands in all.
- On each of the four corners draw a star flower of six pointed diamond petals, left open on the side facing the centre.
- Fill the heart of each star flower with a burst of fine lines radiating from its centre.
