This dot rangoli design uses a 9×9 square grid of 81 dots, joined into a big 8-petal flower inside a square frame. It is 2 ft wide and takes about 30 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Put 81 white dots in a square: 9 rows of 9 dots, about 3 inches apart.
Step 2
Join dots from the centre outwards to make 8 pointed petals reaching the middle of each side and each corner.
Step 3
Join the outer row of dots into a square frame with small loops at each dot.
Step 4
Fill the petals magenta and pink, the centre yellow, the gaps green, and outline in white.
Tips
- Count the dots twice before you start. One missing dot spoils the symmetry.
