Simple rangoli or border with bangles and cotton buds techniques
The next rangoli is with bangles . The bangles are placed in a triangular shape. Depending upon the number of bangles we chose the rangoli size will vary.
I have used 3,2,1 the simplest combination since it is for a demonstration only. After placing them in the descending order, draw circles inside the bangle with the inner side of the bangle as reference. Remove the bangles carefully because the rangoli circles can get disturbed and we have to do it all over again. Draw the patterns along the circumference of the circles , wavy patterns, using cotton buds. Place contrasting colour inside the circles and make floral designs using a cotton bud again. Finally place white dots along the periphery of the rangoli to complete this small and easy idea for Diwali decoration.

Diwali is The festival so far as celebrations are concerned. It has everything for all. For children and the elders new clothes , crackers for kids , This also the time for people to show off their rangoli skills. The rangoli can be simple or big , easy or complicated but it has to be colourful. These designs shared here should be useful for those who want to try their hand on rangoli for the first time as also for those who are looking for ideas for simple colourful rangoli for Diwali
This rangoli may be a very basic rangoli usually drawn with white rangoli powder at the entrance of homes for a daily rangoli , we can borrow this image or pattern to drawn with one colour on the floor or with white or any other contrasting colour on the background. Suitable for beginners and learners who want to try rangoli making .
This is a simple rangoli only with a combination of free hand and corner rangoli designs. The edge of the wall is decorated with corner rangoli designs and below it the circular rangoli design with colours is drawn free hand.
The next rangoli has also been drawn a circular or near circular ( since it is drawn without any aid ) . First a circle is drawn , filled with yellow colour around it we add pink and then finally blue or violet. The inside of the blue is decorated with spirals and the outermost circle is pushed with a finger to get the pattern shown. Should be easy to draw it on the floor or as part of a rangoli bigger drawn on a white or colourful background.
The previous rangoli magnified to show only the corner rangoli design. This can be drawn independently also or to decorate another colourful rangoli on both sides or all around. Draw two semi circular shapes and develop them into orange colour floral petals as shown. Between two floral corner rangoli designs draw a spiral and decorate it with white and blue dots to enhance the beauty of the rangoli . Try for Diwali decoration at home.
After some free hand rangoli designs with colours , the next image shows a simple 7 to 4 dot rangoli design converted into a beautiful , cute and colourful rangoli for Diwali. For beginners or for those who are on the look out for simple designs this pattern should be suitable to celebrate the festival with a riot of colours with just such a small designs. After drawing the floral petals colour them with blue pink and yellow in some order , I have chosen yellow for the central flower and the remaining 6 flowers alternate with blue and pink. Actually blue , pink and yellow combine well and enhance the beauty of the kolam ( oh! rangoli ). I am from Tamil Nadu so I invariably draw "kolam " . My elder sisters live in Maharastra ( Mumbai and Nagpur ) and so for them it is rangoli though we all learnt muggulu from our mother ! She was from Vijaynagaram in Andhra Pradesh so it was Telugu for her.
So what ever name we use , the beauty is the same , it is one of the simplest art forms of India , but among the most beautiful. I do not think that there is any other art form that is created daily .
The next rangoli uses a number of bright colours light green, yellow ,pink and orange. A white border decorates the circumference of this circular rangoli . Small bullets are placed with white rangoli. The floral petals are formed with cotton buds.
After some colourful rangoli without steps , one simple rangoli with lots of steps by steps images , so that it will be useful to beginners.
Instead of drawing the white rangoli and filling with colours , this rangoli has been drawn with rangoli colours , starting with a triangle , with circular patterns and spiral expanding on the three sides. Hope it is useful for Diwali decoration of 2016 ( updated )
