Faceted Five-Point Star Packed with Zentangle Patterns

A large five-pointed star fills the page, drawn with a faceted, folded look so each arm seems to have a light crease running down its center. At the middle sits a small circle surrounded by a snowflake-like flower with pointed petals. Every arm is packed with fine doodle patterns, including spirals, swirling curls, scalloped clouds, leaf shapes, striped fan sections, small flower heads and a few mandala-style bursts. The outline is a clean, thin black line, and the background stays plain white. Because the patterns are small and intricate, it suits teens and adults who like slow, careful coloring. Try giving each arm its own color family, such as deep reds, greens and golds, and let the center flower stand out in a contrasting shade. Fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils work well. This free printable would also look nice as a handmade holiday tree topper idea or a framed seasonal decoration.
