A 3D rangoli design looks like it rises off the floor. This modern Diwali design uses stacked cubes drawn with three shades of blue. It is 2 ft wide and takes about 50 minutes, mostly for drawing straight lines.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Draw a hexagon about 2 ft wide with a ruler.
Step 2
Divide it into small diamonds by drawing lines parallel to its sides, 3 inches apart.
Step 3
Group every three diamonds into a cube: one top face and two side faces.
Step 4
Fill every top face sky blue, every left face blue and every right face dark blue. Outline in white.
Tips
- Keep the same shade on the same face of every cube, or the 3D effect breaks.
- Try it in shades of orange or pink for a warmer Diwali look.
