Step by step: how to draw Rangoli Design Simple and Easy

1. Mark a square grid of three rows of three dots, with one extra dot beyond each side.
2. In the centre draw a four-petal flower with its petals pointing up, down, left and right, a line in each petal.
3. Around the centre flower draw four large leaves along the diagonals so they frame it in a diamond, and fill each leaf with slanting vein lines.
4. At the top, bottom, left and right draw a flower of rounded petals with a pointed bud petal at its outer tip — four in all.
5. On each of the four diagonal corners draw a scroll of two spiral curls sprouting from the leaves.
6. Finish each curl with a small cluster of round flowers and a leafy sprig.
