Floral Mandala Coloring #5 - Free Coloring Page

At the center of this mandala a large bloom opens in rounded petals layered several rows deep around a core of thin star-shaped points; each petal carries an inner line that traces a smaller petal within the larger one. This flower fills nearly half of the circle and ends in a ring of pointed leaves that underline its jagged edge. Further out, a second band alternates eight times between small clusters of flower buds and leaves and curling scrollwork. The whole design sits inside a plain, clean circle, with no beading or cut edge.

The line work is thin and even; the spaces are wide across the central flower, which makes this mandala coloring page approachable from around age 8 as well as for an adult short on time, then narrow over the scrolls and small buds of the outer ring, which need more precision. Expect roughly ninety minutes to two hours to fill it in.

Start with the large central petals using a fine marker, then switch to colored pencils for the scrolls and small leaves of the outer ring, where the lines sit close together. This printable mandala holds up best on A4 paper at 200gsm, thick enough to take marker ink without bleeding through.
