Dot Mandala Downloadable PDF Pattern - "Warmth" - XXL Candle Holder Design

“Warmth” was my first design of the XL tealight candle holders (16cm diameter) and it quickly became clear that I had more than one idea for how to finish off the design, hence the “alternate ending” you will find in this pattern! This colour combo also stole my heart, along with a lot of people on my lives, and I’ve since adapted this design for 2 different sized trinket dishes, and I think we will see a bunch more versions soon! I found this design incredibly soothing and I really hope you enjoy painting it!

Another quick heads up is that these designs happened quite naturally during a couple of my livestreams, so I did not set out to write up a pattern for them. Because of this, I didn’t take planned progress photos, but rather will show you screen shots from filming, and/or closeups of the finished design.

I made this candle holder with gypsum plaster and the XXL tea light candle holder mould from Devon Dotting.

In this 14 page PDF, I will walk you through basic dot mandala pattern elements, prepping your paints and painting surface, drawing your guidelines, each step of this design, fixes & touch ups, and finishing/sealing your masterpiece. I hope the tips and tricks I share along the way, coupled with the colour photos of each step, guide you through creating this mandala as joyfully as possible!
