Henna (Mehndi) Designing using Wooden Blocks Stamps

Mehndi as an “ART”

Mehndi is a traditional temporary form of body art using “Henna” which has been practiced for over 5000 years in Pakistan, India, Africa and Middle East. Mehndi (Henna) has numerous artistic uses including designing, decoration, adornment, cooling agent (mainly practiced  by the people of Rajasthan in the past) for making temporary skin tattoos and also applied as a ceremonial ritual in many cultures.
 

How is Mehndi made????

Mehndi powder is made by milling and sifting the dried leaves of HENNA plant (botanical name: Lawsonia inermis). For using Henna powder for adornment and designing of body especially hands, palms, feet, legs, shoulder back this powder is converted into creamy paste and then applied on skin using cones and wooden blocks. Mehndi will stain red to brown color.

6. Wait for 3-4 hours for drying of Henna (Mehndi). The longer time you will give henna to dry out the more richer color it will give.
7. When Mehndi will dry out completely and starts flaking off  do not wash it with water. Simply flake it off with blunt side of knife.
8. Make a thick solution of lemon juice and sugar. Apply this solution on the mehndi design using cotton once henna starts drying up .This will give more rich color to your mehndi design.
