Double line rangoli kolam designs steps

Rangoli making / Rangoli drawing - double stroke kolam T he first image shows the first step of the rangoli. I have used only parallel lines drawn simultaneously in this design. Draw four pairs of intersecting lines. From the ends of each line connect the adjacent line to get the pattern seen above.

Decorate the periphery of the rangoli with floral motifs that are formed using spiral and circular patterns. Also fill the petals at the centre with simple oval designs.

OHP sheet kundan rangoli for Diwali Navratri

Kundan rangoli - artificial rangoli Kundan - literally means gems and stones. There is a long history of kundan designs so far as jewellery with precious stones is concerned. Since Rangoli-sans-dots is on rangoli and few other arts and craft, we will confine to kundan rangoli designs. Obviously we use simple and cheap trinkets available in the market. What I have used are the trinkets I use for jewellery making. So, the rangoli designs here may look different from the usual models. Of course for our imagination, sky is the limit and I feel we have the freedom to use it to design our own kundan rangoli designs. I have mounted on an OHP sheet, the trinkets suitably stuck to it with glue. We can collect as many individual designs as we want, re-arrange them and use in different combinations to different designs.
