12 DOTS KOLAMS

IN THIS PAGE I HAVE SHARED SOME 12 DOTS KOLAMS  WHICH ARE VERY  EASY TO LEARN AND PRACTICE.

I HAVE SHARED THE FIRST RANGOLI IN 5 STEPS. FIRST WE HAVE TO PLACE DOTS AS SHOWN IN STEP 1. FOR THIS RANGOLI THE DOT PATTERN IS STRAIGHT DOTS. THEN WE HAVE TO DRAW CROSS SYMBOL AS SHOWN IN STEP 2. NEXT, DRAW THAT CROSS SYMBOL AS  SWASTIK  AND FINALLY  JOIN THE CORNERS. AFTER FINISHING THESE STEPS  WE HAVE TO DRAW LAMP LIKE SYMBOL IN BETWEEN THEM. FINALLY GIVE SOME ENHANCEMENT TO THE RANGOLI AND FINISH IT.
