Step 5: Expand Your Design
Feel free to change colours after each step. Using the dots you've created so far as a guide, add more dots near each one in the available spaces using dotting tool 3. This will create an interlocking pattern.

Step 8: Create an Extra Layer
We skip dotting tool 6 for this step as we need a large dot for the next step, so with dotting tool 7 you can add an extra layer to your design.

Step 9: Add decorative element
Using the dotting tool size 1, add a dot above the outermost circle. Stagger the dots evenly around the circle. One dip of paint should cover half the pattern. Tip: the first dot should be centre top of the outermost dot and as you create the pattern the paint should slowely run low making smaller dots you go.

Fantastic Dotting Tools!
I recently bought the Dotting Tools from Dottela, and I'm really impressed with them. I used to use wooden dowels, but the size accuracy wasn't as good. They're perfect for creating beautiful designs on pebbles, and my artwork has never looked better. These tools are easy to use and ideal for both beginners and experienced dotters. Highly recommend giving them a try!
