Step by step: how to draw Latest Happy New Year Muggulu
- Mark the 14-to-2 dot grid — rows tapering from 14 dots down to 2.
- Down the centre column write "NEW YEAR" in capital letters, one letter below another.
- Across the middle write "HAPPY" to the left so that its Y is the Y of "YEAR", and "2025" to the right, forming a cross of lettering.
- In each of the four quadrants draw a rose — a spiral at the centre wrapped in scalloped outer petals.
- Around each rose draw three pointed leaves — one pointing into the corner and one on each side — and run a straight diagonal stem through the rose and down the middle of the two side leaves.
