Step by step: how to draw Very Small Cute Muggulu

1. Mark the 7-to-4 dot grid — seven dots in the middle row tapering to four at the top and bottom.
2. In the middle draw a cluster of three pointed leaves with midribs, fanning up from one point.
3. Draw three five-petal flowers, each with a spiral heart and a dot on every petal — one at the upper left, one at the upper right and one below the leaf cluster.
4. Link the flowers with curving vine stems that end in spirals, and run a line of dots along the stem beside the right-hand flower.
5. Along the vine add veined leaves — a small one at the top, one at the lower left, a long pointed one at the lower right and a scalloped leaf at the far left.
6. Re-trace the outlines in white.
