• Use a pressure cooker gasket as a guide to place dots of alternating blue and red around the circular pattern you just made. Create straight lines on these dots with the help of the comb. Fill in the space between the two circles with green rangoli powder. Make use of a jar lid to draw a leaf-shaped pattern around the outer circle with white rangoli powder. Fill the leaf with purple rangoli powder. Now make green and yellow alternating dots between the tips of the leaves. Draw lines on the dots using comb-like you did earlier. Below this makes blue dots and using earbuds create patterns as shown in the video. Place colourful diyas in the centre of the rangoli and on the leaf pattern.

Material Required

• A big circular ring, Rangoli Powders and Fork

Steps to Draw the Rangoli

• Place the Circular Ring (you can also use a cooker gasket). Make dots with white rangoli powder around this ring as the guideline. Remove the ring and add small heaps of red rangoli powder in the form of dots inside the white circle of dots. Drag the fork on these dots twice from the sides to form Tulip shape. Next, make white dots close to each other right below this tulip shape. Fill in the centre with a red colour. Take a stick or paintbrush and drag the white dots towards the centre to give it a flower-like shape. Make a small circular dot at the centre with red rangoli powder. Complete the rangoli by making huge dots with red rangoli powder as the outermost layer and make the same tulip shape using a fork. Make small triangular white dots between these tulip shapes and drag the dots down to form a leaf-like pattern.

Materials Required

• Rangoli Bottle Squeezer, Rangoli Colours - Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink, White, Green.

Steps to Draw

• Draw two horizontal lines (3 – 4 inches apart) and of the required length on the floor or any place where you want to make this beautiful rangoli. Draw semicircles with one of the horizontal lines as the base. Each width between the semicircles must be about 2 inches. Fill the plastic squeezer with white rangoli powder. Make dots without any space between them on the horizontal lines. Use a fork to make a wavy pattern on these dots. Fill the gap between the wavy pattern with another line of dots. Now start the rangoli design from the outermost semicircle. Place a small quantity of rangoli powder in the form of dots next to each other inside the semicircle. Take a spoon and apply gentle pressure on the small heap of rangoli powder to slightly flatten it. Once you complete the entire semicircle move on to the next one. Place dots of rangoli powder at the bottom of the first layer and repeat the process for all the half circles. Complete the design with a border of three triangular dots (slightly flatten the dots with your fingers) with a small circle in between them. Finally, make small dots (4 – 5) of alternating colours on the outermost edge of the rangoli.

Material Required

• Different Rangoli Powders, a Strainer and Mosquito Coil

Steps to Make the Rangoli

• Use a strainer to sprinkle white rangoli powder on the floor. Place the mosquito coil on the white base and sprinkle red colour rangoli powder to cover the coil. Remove the coil carefully. For the second round use a smaller coil and place it in such a way that it forms a semicircle. Sprinkle purple rangoli powder only the semicircle area. You need to repeat this 5 times. For the third layer, place the coil in-between the two semi-circles of the 2nd round. Sprinkle blue rangoli powder on it. For the final layer repeat the same procedure by placing the coil in-between the semicircles of the 3rd layer. Complete the rangoli by placing dots around. Draw circles on the dots using an earbud or your finger.

Material Required

• Quilling paper strips of various colours, Slotted Quilling Tool, Scissors and Craft Glue.

Steps to Make This Rangoli

• Start by wrapping blue coloured paper around a circular object (a jar lid) until you get the required thickness, glue the end and remove it from the object. You will now have a circle. Make 10 small loosely rolled coils of white paper and glue it at equidistance on the circle. Now make 20 teardrop shapes using dark green, yellow and red-coloured strips. Glue two of these petal shapes in between the white coil. For the next layer of rangoli, you will need orange and purple paper strips. Make Marquise shape with orange in the centre and purple on the outside. (to make marquise shape – just roll a closed loose coil and pinch both sides to a point). You will need 24 such pieces. Now paste 4 of these marquise shapes in a vertical diamond shape in between the two teardrops of the 2nd round at equidistance. Next, you will need 24 shaped teardrops. (For this you will need to roll a closed loose coil and pinch one side to a point and slightly bend on a side). Paste these at the bottom of the vertical diamonds you just made to complete the design. Fill a container with water and add some flower petals. Place a floating candle in the container and put it in the centre of this amazing quilling rangoli. Be prepared to get tons of compliments from everyone for your efforts.

Material Required

• Ice-cream sticks, Rangoli Powders, Strainer, Earbuds

Steps to Draw the Rangoli

• Draw a circle with the length of the ice-cream stick as the radius. Place a small candle/a lid in the middle of the circle. Now sprinkle yellow rangoli powder inside the circle and completely cover it. Arrange 16 ice-cream sticks on the circle at an equal distance. Sprinkle blue rangoli powder around the candle/lid to form a small circle. Around this sprinkle, purple colour to form another circle. Use black rangoli powder for the last circle. Now gently remove the candle/lid that you had placed at the centre and the ice-cream sticks gently without disturbing the colours. Take a square-shaped jar to make the triangular shape design at the edge of the rangoli. Fill the centre of the rangoli where you had placed the candle/lid with alternating black, blue, purple and yellow powder. Make dots around the rangoli and gently flatten it. Fill the alternating dots with black powder. You can place diyas or candles around the rangoli to make it more attractive.

Material Required

• Different size plates or lids, strainer, rangoli colours

Steps to Draw the Rangoli

• Draw 5 concentric circles with plates of different sizes. Place the smallest plate/lid at the centre and carefully using the strainer sprinkle pink rangoli powder around the lid. Now remove the lid and place a bigger plate such that it covers the pink rangoli powder. Take white rangoli powder in the strainer and now sprinkle it around the lid like you did earlier. Repeat this process until you cover all the concentric circles with different rangoli powder. Now make a semicircle kind of design around the rangoli by gently pushing the last layer with a small lid towards the centre. Complete the design by placing small dots in a triangular shape in green, white and pink rangoli powder around the tip of the semicircles. Take an earbud or a stick and shape these dots to look like flowers and leaves. Place a candle or diya in the centre.

Materials Required

• Six bowls of similar shape and size, Rangoli colours, Strainer and earbuds

Steps to Make the Rangoli

• Arrange the six bowls in a hexagonal shape. Take a strainer and fill it with any rangoli colour of your choice. Sprinkle the powder around and on the bowls to form a circular shape. Now carefully remove the bowls. You will see six empty circular shapes. In the centre, you can draw any design (flower, Ganesha etc). Now at the centre of the empty circles, place a small pile of rangoli powder and gently flatten it. Take an earbud and create circular designs on it. Even a novice who doesn’t have any experience can make this beautiful rangoli and get compliments for it.

Material Required

• This beautiful rangoli design is sure to beautify the space during a festival. You will need bangles of different sizes and coloured Holi powder or Gulal.

Steps to Make the Rangoli

• To begin, place a bangle on a flat surface and fill it with blue coloured Gulal. Place 6 bangles of the same size around the centre circle to mimic a flower and fill them with pink powder. Place more bangles in between each petal to form the second row of circles. Fill it with green colour powder. Place 2 small bangles, one in front of the other in the empty spaces between the circles of the second row and fill them with purple coloured powder. Draw a circle with a yellow powder such that the second smaller bangle intersects it.
• Carefully remove all the bangles and fill the empty spaces with a thin coat of white powder. Then, pipe small dots of white powder in the empty space around the centre circle and the first row of circles. Flatten the dots with your finger and fill it with bright orange coloured powder. Finish the design by outlining the centre and first row of circles with white powder.
