Step by step: how to draw Simple Daily Kolams Easy
- Mark the 7-to-3 dot grid.
- In the centre draw a square, join the midpoints of its sides into a diamond, and draw a four-petal flower inside it.
- From each corner of the square draw two pointed petals outward, giving eight petals around the square.
- On the top, bottom, left and right draw a flower of three rounded petals around a small circle, mark two short dashes in each petal, and set it on a pair of curved leaves.
- On each of the four diagonals draw a spiral curl that ends in a long pointed leaf sweeping outward.
