Tiny rangoli designs are perfect for corners, stair steps, the base of a diya or around a pooja thali. Here are three 6-inch motifs: a flower, a swastik and a diya. Each takes about 5 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1

Tiny flower: draw five small round petals around a dot, fill them red with a yellow centre.
Step 2

Tiny swastik: draw a small red swastik with four yellow dots around it.
Step 3

Tiny diya: draw a small orange diya with a yellow flame and two green leaves under it.
Step 4

Outline each motif in white and add three white dots around each one.
Tips
- Use a rangoli cone or a spoon for clean small lines.
- Repeat the same tiny motif on every stair step for a festive look.
