About the Spring Lace Mandala

The Spring Lace Mandala is a 12-fold lace mandala: every motif repeats 12 times around the center. It is built from 5 rings of petals, dots, spikes and layered petals, 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.

• Petals: shade each petal darker at the base and lighter at the tip for a soft 3D look.
• Dots: dots are perfect for a pop of accent color, like gold or a bright contrast.
• Spikes: pointed shapes look great with a gradient – dark at the base, light at the point.
• Layered petals: color the back layer a shade darker than the front layer so they look stacked.

Color Ideas

• Soft, delicate colors fit the lacy look: cream, blush pink, sage and dusty blue.
• Autumn: rust, mustard, burgundy and copper.
• Ocean: teal, turquoise, navy and sandy beige.
