Want to try applying mehndi yourself but afraid of messing up? I’ve been there! The trick is to start with designs that are forgiving and don’t require a super steady hand for intricate details.
Here are the best beginner-friendly ideas to build your confidence:
Dots and Dashes: Seriously, don’t underestimate the power of this! Create beautiful patterns using just dots. Connect them with small lines or arrange them in geometric shapes. It’s modern, easy, and mistakes are easy to fix.
Single Florals: Practice drawing one simple, open flower (like a daisy or a sunflower) on your palm or the side of your hand. Once you master one, you can start scattering a few.
Simple Vines and Leaves: Draw a single, wavy line. Then, add small simple leaves or hearts coming off the vine. It’s a graceful design that can run along your fingers or wrist.
My top tip for beginners? Practice with a glue bottle on paper first! This helps you get a feel for the pressure and flow before you move on to the real cone. Remember, every expert was once a beginner.
