Instructions
- Prepare the Pendant Base:
If using a metal washer or wooden disc, ensure the surface is clean and smooth.
Apply a primer for base coat is optional - Plan Your Design:
Find the centre and sketch a light guideline. Visualize the mandala pattern you wish to create.
Start from the center and work outward, maintaining symmetry.
Select three to five colours for dot mandala. - Dot Application:
Dip your dotting tool into the acrylic paint, ensuring a small bead forms at the tip.
Gently press the tool onto the pendant to create a dot.
Vary the size of the dots by using different tools or adjusting the pressure applied.
Continue building your mandala pattern, allowing each layer to dry slightly to prevent smudging. - Add Details:
Incorporate smaller dots over the first layer to enhance the intricacy of your design.
Experiment with color combinations to add depth and contrast. - Seal and Assemble:
Once the paint is thoroughly dry, apply a clear sealant or resin to protect the design and add a glossy finish.
