How to draw it, step by step

Sweep the floor and wipe it with a damp cloth so the powder grips. Mark the centre with chalk. Then follow the pictures. Each one adds one part.

Make a small filled circle in blue. This is the centre of the whole design, so place it carefully.
Draw ten long pointed petals around the centre, filled in green. Mark the ten tips with dots first so the petals come out even.
Near the tip of each petal add an oval "eye" in blue with a dark blue dot inside, like a peacock feather.
Place ten yellow dots in a ring, one in each gap. Drop a pinch of powder and press lightly for each dot.
Draw a thin teal circle around the design. A string held at the centre, with chalk at the other end, keeps it round.

Tip: Make the petals long and narrow. The feather look comes from the slim shape and the eye near the tip.

Make it your own

Swap one ring of petals for flower petals or for real diyas placed on the floor.
Add one of the border designs around it to make it larger without drawing a harder centre.
Print the outline and try two or three colour plans with pencils before you choose.
