Materials
  • Pendant Base: Choose a flat, smooth surface such as a metal washer, wooden disc, or ceramic pendant.
  • Acrylic Paints: Select a variety of colors that resonate with your desired design.
  • Dotting Tools: These can include specialized dotting tools, toothpicks, or the ends of paintbrushes.
  • Sealant: A clear varnish or resin to protect and add shine to your finished piece.
  • Optional: Primer for base coating, palette for mixing paints, and a fine brush for detailing.
Instructions
  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Seal and Assemble:
    Once the paint is thoroughly dry, apply a clear sealant or resin to protect the design and add a glossy finish.
