A rose rangoli is lovely for birthdays, anniversaries and engagements. This one draws the rose as a spiral of curved petals, with two buds and leaves. It is 1.5 ft wide and takes about 25 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1

Draw a small spiral in the centre for the rose bud.
Step 2

Draw curved petals around the spiral, each one bigger than the last, to make an open rose.
Step 3

Draw two small buds and four leaves on short stems.
Step 4

Fill the petals red with maroon edges, the buds pink, the leaves green, and outline in white.
Tips
- Leave a thin gap between petals and fill it with white for a clear rose shape.
