Unbelievable! Stencils for dotted kolams too! Let me make sure I understand this right, do we have to place the dots after using/filling through the stencil, or are the holes already punched in the stencil, and all we have to do is spread the powder on top?

Hai lata,
The stencil contains evrything, including the lines and dotes. The unwanted areas of the design is covered with a blue colour undissolving paint. For ex. the areas which are seen as black here . You have to just spread the powder on top of the design. Thats all. There are dotted kolam designs, X'mas theme designs etc etc.

Thanks for the quick reply, it could be a little bit puzzling for a person like me who hasn't seen stencils for dotted kolams yet

Yes lata, The stencil looks like the challadai net {used for sieving rice flour, maida ete], with the design inside the blue paint.

Jayanthi, nice, modern, easy way of putting kolam in front of the house in few seconds,But nowadays youngsters have time only to adjust their cellphone in the ears rather than drawing a few lines in front of their houses.
Even though I welcome these stencil kolams it reminds me of MTR readymade food pockets... what do u d say?
