This simple and beautiful rangoli has three layers of petals, like a chakra. Each layer is easy on its own, but together they look rich and detailed. It is 2 ft wide and takes about 30 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Draw a 4-inch circle and 8 small petals around it.
Step 2
Draw 8 bigger petals behind the first ones, between them.
Step 3
Draw 16 long pointed petals for the outer layer.
Step 4
Fill from inside out: yellow centre, orange inner petals, pink middle petals, magenta outer petals with green tips, then outline in white.
Tips
- Shade each petal darker at the tip with a tea strainer for depth.
- Use colours from the same family (yellow to magenta) for a soft, beautiful look.
