Step by Step Mehendi Design
How to Design Henna on Hands
Let’s start. Here I am giving you a step-by-step tutorial on how to design henna on hands. Let me tell you that henna designing has got its own styles and specialized designs. Once you are into the art of designing, you would find it much easier to try different styles and patterns on your hands.
Lets suppose that someone asked your help to design henna on their hands. How do you come up with a henna design? Here are a couple steps to guide you through the art of mehndi designing.Â
First keep your hands clean( it is your canvas). Make your henna tube or cone ready to use by making a small hole at the tip.
Henna designs are characterized with some basic shapes and elements like flowers, curls, dots and lines. We can start with a floral pattern. You might have noticed the shading effect on each petal of the flower. How to create shading effect with henna? You can simply do it by dragging your henna cone tip from the outline of a petal to inwards so that several light-weight lines are formed.
Outline the design and then proceed to the finer details.
Arabic mehndi is the latest buzz word in the world of henna designing. What is the difference between Indian, Pakistani or Arabic mehndi? Here what you find is an arabic mehndi design which is slightly influenced by the Indian henna designs.
Designing henna on wrist is the next task. Use of elongated patterns would help you to achieve a good finish. Arabic designs are characterized with thick lines and shades. Thick floral designs adds to the beauty of a henna design. Continue designing freely with your choice of patterns and once you practice the designs, you can make it more perfect.
Now, we have finished up with a henna design. I know it is hard for you to design arabic henna patterns. Here is another tip. Try to draw the below mango-like shape on your hand. If you find it difficult to make a correct mango shape, try several times.
Henna designing step-by-step
After you finish the mango shape, try to draw some petals inside the mango pattern. Outline the basic design with lines and end up with a flower of three petals. You can try any design of your choice to make it more attractive.
We can try another design. Start a simple pattern from the tip of your finger as shown in the picture. You can add floral designs with thick outlines so that it looks like arabic design.
This simple design is easy to create and good for beginners. Note that here I am not showing any complicated henna designs. These all are easy designs made from simple patterns. If you have ample time and patience, you can easily master the art of henna designing.
Henna design on wrist
Henna designs are widely used over hands and legs. Now a days people prefer designing on wrists, belly and single designs on fingers. This one is a simple henna design for wrist. Start up with a floral outline and thicken the edges.
Add more shapes and designs so that it looks combined with the floral pattern. Try to make thick strokes for a better outlook.
If you are an avid henna design lover you can try jardoshi and combination of arabic designs. Please leave me a comment and let me know your ideas and suggestions on mehndi designing.

Its very good teaching that how to design heena on hands pl. give more detais about design how to strock and how to make organic cone which is not harmful to skin
Thank you Rajkumar for your valuable comment. If you are talking about strokes or shades, it is simple if you just give it a try. Keep in mind that the pressure you apply on the henna tube while designing is also a factor that affects the outcome. Start with a simple design, try to outline it again and again until you are confident to draw that particular design. Now try to add extensions to your design. For example, start with a simple mango design (refer the image). Try to draw freely and draw anything you like, (circle, square etc)…..You will soon find it easier to draw anything perfectly !!
