Kids activity with multiple benefits...

Hello all you beautiful people.

The summer vacation is upon us and that means it’s not just the heat but also the children’s free time that will take its toll on us.

Rangoli borders

Hello beautiful people. I have been missing from action for a while now. And I am back with a topic close to my heart. Yes its the rangoli. I have compiled a few borders for your use. Borders have various utility, they can be drawn at the thresholds of the entrance to the house, on steps, on window sills, and around a rangoli to define it etc.. Essentially its rangoli design for small spaces :)

These can be drawn with the rangoli powder, with chalk or with paint. Essentially borders are a compilation of motifs in a series. Borders can be of various types: floral, geometric, and free hand etc.. This post is a picture heavy post. 



was difficult to put them all on one piece so below are some more





All above borders are drawn by me using the rangoli powder. I have maintained most of them in just the white colour. You could use colour in between like dots or dashes. Please do try the above designs and drop in a line. 

Do leave a comment in the below box. I would love to hear from you.
