Step by step: how to draw Small Pulli Designs Dots Easy Kolam
- Mark the 6 to 6 dot grid.
- In the centre draw a spiral inside a circle and around it four bow-shaped petals — top, bottom, left and right — each with a row of short dashes inside.
- Enclose the flower in a square and in each of its four inner corners draw a spiral curl.
- Outside the square draw a wider square band and fill each of its four sides with closely spaced slanted parallel lines.
- On each of the four corners draw a fan of five loop petals spreading outward, with a line and a dot inside every loop.
- Between the fans, at the middle of each side, draw a small five-petal flower with a dot centre.
- Dot the ends of the slanted lines along the edges of the band.
