Mehndi Design Step by Step...
Introduction to Mehndi
Mehndi is beautiful art. It uses henna to make designs on hands and feet. People love mehndi for special occasions, like weddings and festivals. It is exciting and fun to create mehndi patterns!
What You Need
Before you start, gather these things:
- Henna paste (You can buy it or make it at home)
- Small cone or a small bottle for applying
- Paper towel or cloth
- Oil (like coconut oil)
- Water
Step 1: Preparing Your Hands
First, wash your hands. Make sure they are clean. This helps the henna stick better. After washing, dry your hands with a towel.
Step 2: Applying Oil
Next, use some oil on your hands. This helps keep your skin soft. It also makes the color of the mehndi darker and long-lasting!
Step 3: Getting the Henna Ready
If you have a henna cone, hold it like a pencil. If you're using a bottle, squeeze it gently. Make sure the henna flows out smoothly.
Step 4: Simple Designs to Try
Here are a few easy designs you can start with:
- Dot Design: Make small dots all over your palm.
- Line Design: Draw wavy lines across your fingers.
- Leaf Design: Make tiny leaves growing from a small branch.
- Flower Design: Draw a small flower in the center of your palm.
Step 5: Let it Dry
After you finish your design, let it dry. This may take about 30 minutes or more. Do not touch anything while it dries. Be patient!
Step 6: Removing the Henna
Once the henna is dry, gently scrape it off. Do not wash it with water. Use a paper towel to rub it off gently. This makes the color darker.
Step 7: Caring for Your Mehndi
After removing the henna, do not wash your hands for at least six hours. This helps the color stay nice and dark. You can apply some lemon juice and sugar mixture to make it darker.....
