How to Paint a Dot Mandala on a Notebook

This tutorial is a notebook project, based on my most popular video. With over 190,000 views so far on the original speed-paint, I know this tutorial is something that so many of you have been asking for! (Note: If you want to speed up the video or slow it down, you can do so in the video settings.)

I used a black notebook for this project, but you can paint on any color you want as long as you coordinate the paint colors you use on it. I do not recommend painting a base coat on any notebook. When your notebook project is completed and fully dry, I recommend using a brush-on varnish or Mod Podge to seal and protect your work.

Obviously you can paint this design on anything--it doesn't have to be a notebook! It would be beautiful on canvas, or even on the back of a jean jacket. Also, I've listed the colors I used, but use your imagination and feel free to use something different!

Supplies Needed:
• Black notebook - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007M0AII
• DIY Mandala Stones dotting tools (1-28 FULL set), or equivalent - https://www.etsy.com/listing/638314304

🌺 THE STENCIL 🌺
I used a stencil and a chalk marker, but you can also go with no stencil at all, just making your best guess based on how it looks compared to the tutorial video. By following along with the tutorial, you can make a good guess as to where the dots should go in relation to the surrounding dots.

If you'd rather use a stencil, like I did in the video, here are the details. I've verified that as of 2/2/2021, the following Amazon listings all carry the exact same 8-inch 16-segment stencil that I used for this tutorial. You'll also need a chalk marker, which I provide a link to here:
• Chalk marker - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009DSSSX6
Five stencil links to choose from:
• I have several of these stencils, available while supplies last, in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/941874802
