Easy DIY Diwali rangoli

I can't believe I'm writing a post after 3 years ! Being a mommy and two new countries took it's time (and toll), I guess. Here I am with a Diwali DIY. Easy as pie , but looks great. (Don't think pie is easy to make though😊). My good friend asked me to make a rangoli for her new home. It got me thinking. Traditional rangoli colors are hard to come by here and it would be destroyed in minutes, thanks to so many people stepping over it throughout the party. I had initially thought I'd use felt, but that would have been difficult to stick to the cement concrete floor. Then, of course, I thought of foam sheets. They are available in all colours under the sun and have a sticky back ! Done.  This rangoli design is inspired by traditional aalpona shapes and rangoli colours. Here's my colourful ( and quick) interpretation of rangoli.  Materials : - Peel and stick foam sheets ( I got mine from Walmart), in colours of choice - Peel and stick acrylic stones
