Simple Rangoli Design Ideas for Diwali Celebrations

Diwali is all about good vibes! Even a small diya or a rangoli has the power to vanish the darkness and dullness of your entire room. But mainly, it’s about the victory of good over evil. And that explains why we celebrate it  every year with full zeal. We decorate our entire home, invite our family and friends, and wish for goodwill and joy from our hearts. However, we know that not everyone is an artist or a rangoli expert. To address just that, we have listed some Diwali simple rangoli designs for your home that you can make easily. We have also mentioned the materials and tools you can bank upon to make the process easy. To make it even better we have added a few tips on how to make rangoli material at home, in case you have forgotten to buy the stuff beforehand.

Steps for Simple Rangoli Designs on Diwali for Home

Before purchasing, you need to get planning. A plan of how to make the easiest yet the perfect rangoli for your festivities. So first see who is involved in the making of rangoli? If kids aged under 10 are involved in the process then go for materials that are easy and safe to work with. Coloured rice, dals, coloured pasta, coloured salt and non toxic paints are some of the materials that are 100% safe for small kids. If the rangoli maker is a newbie adult, then you can use flower petals or flowers, wood powder, chalk powder, rice powder and the materials mentioned above. They are easy to use and safe for the environment.

Secondly, the material you want to use for the rangoli: this is because each material has a different texture which affects the overall look of the rangoli. For instance, rice powder can highlight your details, however, it will be a shallow design and take time to cover the floor. Use dals, with flowers or pasta for a fuller look at rangoli. Rice grains, non toxic paints and wood powder if you have a design with few details in mind. Lastly, salt, chalk powder or rice/ wheat powder if you want to make a Diwali simple and easy rangoli design for home with details.

Thirdly, selection of rangoli design for Choti Diwali and Badi Diwali. It’s not a mandatory procedure to follow the steps in the same order. If you already have selected your rangoli ideas for Diwali, then you can go with the material mentioned above. But it’s better to choose the material before the design, as you can change the pattern but the material would be a task. If you select the design beforehand, you can also make a list of materials you need to shape the rangoli. From complimenting colours to a ruler and compass, everything is fair to use when it comes to rangoli making. We have made a gallery for you to select from the easiest of rangoli designs. If making the design seems too much to you, then go for stickers and stencils.

Save the Day With Homemade Simple Rangoli Colours

You can make simple Diwali rangoli designs for home without purchasing anything. Here are the ways through which you can make colours from home ingredients.

• Coloured rice – It is one of the easiest materials to dye. You can take a clean bag and put in the amount of rice you want. Then add the liquid colour, close the bag and shake the bag until everything is tinted enough to use. Make sure to give the rice some air before use as the liquid can make it stick together. You can use paints of any sort, or home ingredients like turmeric paste for yellow, holy red powder (roli) and saffron water for orange.
• Coloured wheat – The process is the same as the rice. You can also use dry colours to make it coloured.
• Dals and other colourful grains – Everyone has at least two types of dals at home. This is the easiest way to bring colour to your easy Diwali rangoli ideas.
