Step by step: how to draw Triangle Kolam Designs 7-4

1. Mark the 7 to 4 dot grid — a middle row of 7 shrinking to 4 at the top and bottom.
2. Around the centre dot draw six triangles — one above, one below and two on each side — each enclosing a single dot.
3. Over each triangle draw an inverted second triangle so each becomes a six-pointed star, letting neighbouring stars share their side lines.
4. Inside each star draw a small daisy — a dot ringed by tiny petals.
5. In the centre draw a six-petal flower with a dot in its middle, its petals fitting between the stars.
6. Around the outside draw pointed leaves — one at the top, one at the bottom and two on each side — and link them with double curved arcs to close the border.
7. Go over all the outlines in white.
