Wooden Rangoli in Blue and Silver

| October 29, 2012 | 6 Comments

Following in the series of Kundan Rangoli designs we’ve been seeing this Diwali season, here is another floating rangoli design made on a wooden base. This Wooden Rangoli is made with metallic acrylic colors, pearls, rhinestones, dull gold beads, glitter glue and silver lace.

Floating Rangoli in Wood

How to make a Floating Rangoli:

Step 1:

Take a piece of wood and paint a few coats of blue acrylic color. I painted one coat of dark blue acrylic shade first and then a couple of metallic blue coats.

Once the paint is dry, glue on pearls with a flat base on the corners.

Step 3:

Now for the center design, nice big rhinestones in blue are glued on.

..a small round mirror piece with dull gold beads around it complete the center.

Step 4:

We now enhance the corners a little – some small blue rhinestones glued parallel to the pearls row.

FRIW5Step 5:

Silver sparkle glue used along the outline except for the four corners.

FRIW7Step 6:

Finally a small strip of silver lace is glued at the corner.

FRIW8Step 7:

As always after the glue is dry, apply a coat of clear varnish.

    It is very beautiful, what glue to use? Thank U.

    • Ramya says:

      You can use fevicol or fevi fabric glue on a wooden or a cardboard base. But while working on a transparent base (like OHP sheet), fabric glue works best.

    Hello madam
    From where do u buy all theses beautiful rhinestones. Suggest any online shop which is cost wise cheap.

    • Ramya says:

      Hi Anitha.. I buy the rhinestones at a craft supplies store (RS shopping) in Chennai, IN. I haven’t bought rhinestones online so far but from my experience, itsybitsy.in is reasonable priced.
