Eight-Lobed Blossom Mandala with Rows of Pointed Petals

A round flower mandala sits in the middle of the page, with a small eight-lobed blossom at its center. The blossom has a solid black dot in the middle, thin lines running out to smaller dots, and a bold outline. Around it, rows of pointed petals fan out in a symmetrical pattern. Some petals have tiny branching veins, some have dotted stems with little leaf shapes, and the larger outer petals have striped corners and curved lines. The outermost ring is made of slim leaves filled with diagonal hatch lines, like feather patterns. Because the pattern repeats around the circle, it is easy to plan colors ahead. Try giving each ring of petals its own color family, such as warm shades for the inner petals and cool shades for the leaves. The printable page also works well for talking about symmetry with kids.
