Rangoli Tips

While drawing circles, tie thread to a chalk. Then hold the free end of thread with left hand’s index finger tip and draw a circle holding the chalk in right hand. Use a Sieve/Strainer to fill colors. This makes the color filing very fast. To make a matrix of dots, mark equidistant points on a paper. Then with a incense/agarbatti              
stick make holes on that particular point. Make sure to make holes of somewhat same size. Make white outlines to enhance the rangoli. If you want to give a light tone to the color, mix it with white plain rangoli. Always use dark colors alongside the light ones. To make an attractive color scheme, choose pairs of opposite colors: Red & Green, Black & White,Violet & Yellow, Orange & Blue, Red & Yellow, Yellow & Green,Orange & Yellow,Blue & Yellow, etc. The rangoli colors available in the market are sticky and cannot be sprinkled or taken in the pinch. To make them free-flowing mix colors with white rangoli powder. Some more tips •To fill colour you can use mehindi cones. This will help to fill the colour more accurately and easily. •You may create spaces within the rangoli design to place diyas. You could also use flower petals of different colours (golden marigolds, bright red roses) to add that extra dimension to your design. •Special floating candles are also available in the market. Float them in big containers of water along with flower petals. •If you are making rangoli design with edible material spray some pesticides near rangoli so that the ants don’t attack your it. •You can put a glass of appropriate size to put over the frame is essential to prevent damage as well as it will increase the glaze of Your Kolam. •Make white outlines to enhance the design. •You can also make a stencil of Rangoli. For this take a cardboard and draw the design you want to make, and cut out the design .So any time you want to make that design just sprinkle colour on the cardboard and the design is ready. •Donot use glue to make the rangoli permanent. That will only spoil it.
