About the Royal Lace Mandala

The Royal Lace Mandala is a 8-fold lace mandala: every motif repeats 8 times around the center. It is built from 5 rings of arches, spikes, teardrops and scallops, from a small flower in the middle to the wide outer border.

This is a medium mandala with more and smaller spaces – ideal for teens and adults who enjoy a longer, mindful coloring session. Most people finish it in about an hour or more with fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils.

How to Color This Mandala

Start in the center and work outwards ring by ring, so your hand doesn't smudge finished parts. Choose 3 to 5 colors and repeat them, so the mandala looks balanced.

• Arches: color every second arch the same to create a rhythm around the ring.
• Spikes: pointed shapes look great with a gradient – dark at the base, light at the point.
• Teardrops: a tiny white spot left uncolored makes them look like shiny drops.
• Scallops: scalloped edges look pretty in a lighter shade of the ring next to them.

Color Ideas

• Soft, delicate colors fit the lacy look: cream, blush pink, sage and dusty blue.
• Monochrome: five shades of one color, from very light to very dark.
• Sunset: coral, peach, magenta and gold.
