We will be using a 5″ X 5″ size wooden piece with a smooth surface. Paint a few coats of gold acrylic color and allow the paint to dry well.

GSKR10Step 2:

Pearls are glued along the outline of the base.

GSKR9Step 3:

Zari strips are cut and glued as shown.

Step 6:

This rangoli also has a kolam at the center and so is double auspicious too! After all, there are no rules here…! This small kolam is drawn using a white glass liner. Acrylic paint can be used as well.

    Awesome work and very creative ideas. Thanks for the instructions. Just one question, Wood will not get spoilt in water(if kept floating)?. Waiting for the reply…

    • Ramya says:

      Yes… it will get spoiled – it will sink I guess! Wooden rangoli can be placed on the floor as a decor… maybe the term ‘floating’ is misguiding. I will have to change that!
