Modern rangoli designs use clean lines and bold blocks of colour. This one builds a flower out of a hexagon and six diamonds. It is 2 ft wide, takes about 35 minutes and is easy with a ruler.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Draw a hexagon about 6 inches wide in the centre with a ruler.
Step 2
Draw a long diamond (petal) on each of its six sides, pointing outwards.
Step 3
Draw a bigger hexagon around everything, touching the tips of the diamonds.
Step 4
Fill the centre yellow, the diamonds alternately dark blue and sky blue, the gaps orange, and outline in white.
Tips
- Use a ruler and a thread for straight lines. Modern designs need crisp edges.
