Star kolams look bold and are easy with a dot grid. This one uses a 9×5 grid to form a six-point star with loops between the points. It is 2 ft wide and takes about 25 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Put 9 dots in the middle row, reducing by one per row to 5 above and below.
Step 2
Draw two large triangles through the outer dots, one pointing up and one down, to make a six-point star.
Step 3
Draw a loop around each dot inside the star.
Step 4
Fill the star points blue and yellow alternately, add a red dot in the centre, and loop around the outer dots.
Tips
- Use a ruler for the two triangles.
