Easter Mandala #17 - Free Coloring Page

A tall egg fills the middle of this mandala, its body banded with zigzag stripes and rows of dots, sitting inside a ring of six smaller eggs — each carrying its own fill of stripes, dots or swirling lace. That cluster is closed off by a first circle. The next band opens into a wreath of round-petalled flowers threaded with tiny birds and rabbits tucked among curling vines. The outer ring alternates fleur-de-lis crosses at the four compass points with star shapes built from curved triangles and leafy scrollwork, all held inside a plain, clean circle with no beading or scalloping.

This mandala coloring page pairs open shapes with tight linework: the central egg and its neighbours leave room enough for a fine brush or a medium marker, while the floral wreath and the cross-and-star border call for a fine tip, since those shapes sit close together. It suits someone already comfortable staying inside small areas; plan on two to three hours to finish it.

Start with the central egg to set a palette of three or four colours, then echo those same tones across the six satellite eggs so the whole piece reads as one design. The tight zigzags on the main egg and the small crosses in the outer band are easiest with a sharp colored pencil or a 0.3mm liner rather than a broad marker. This printable mandala works best on paper of at least 200gsm in A4 size, heavy enough that marker ink won't bleed through.
