A Happy Diwali rangoli greets everyone who comes to your door. This 2.5 ft × 1.5 ft design has the words in the middle with a diya on each side. It takes about 40 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Draw a 2.5 ft × 1.5 ft rectangle with rounded corners and fill it maroon as the background.
Step 2
Write “HAPPY” on the top line and “DIWALI” below it in chalk, using capital letters about 4 inches tall.
Step 3
Trace the letters with yellow using a rangoli pen.
Step 4
Draw an orange diya on each side of the text and add a white dotted border.
Tips
- Write the letters in chalk first and count the spaces before adding colour.
- You can write शुभ दीपावली or a local greeting in place of English.
