    Thanks for this. My biggest challege with mandalas is what to fill the rings with…any suggestions on how to work with the ring designs?

    • Julie

      Hi Aliada2! I usually just look up some patterns on Google images or Pinterest for inspiration and go from there! There are also lots of cool patterns in nature etc if you are looking :)

    I have a few mandalas I printed out froma search, but none that I have made myself. I can’t draw well so maybe this will help.
