Mess- Free Rangoli

Diwali can never be complete without rangolis. This year, we decided to give the age-old rangolis a much needed tweak, and how!

Mess-Free Rangoli

Things You Need:
  1. Old tile
  2. Pre-drawn paper rangolis (preferably printouts that have been coloured in with colour pencils or simply use a colour printout)
  3. Four tealight candles
Procedure:
  1. Place your tile wherever you intend to make your rangoli.
  2. Use rangoli stencils (available online) and print these out (either in colour or black-white) and perhaps cut them out in different shapes and styles. If you have a black and white printout, it's fun to colour them in with colour pencils/crayons/shiny-pens or paint or anything creative you can come up with!
  3. Place these paper rangolis in any way you deem appropriate on the tile.
  4. Fill in any empty spaces on the tile with a single tealight candle as shown in the photo below.
  5. Light the candles at night and you won't be able to peel your eyes off this wonderful creation!
This is an easy and mess-free way to create a rangoli that not only stays for more than a day, but also is fun to do!

Place your pre-drawn rangolis and candles in the above shown format (preferably) and don't forget to light the candles to enjoy the effect at night!
