How To Make Mehndi Cones At Home

You can make mehendi cones at home with the following steps:

Materials You'll Need

1. Henna powder
2. Lemon juice or distilled water
3. Sugar
4. Plastic or cellophane sheet (for making the cone)
5. Tape
6. Scissors
7. Rubber band

Steps to Make Mehndi Cones

Prepare Henna Paste 

Mix henna powder with lemon juice or distilled water to form a thick paste. The mixture should have a toothpaste-like consistency. Add a small amount of sugar to enhance the color and make the paste smoother.

Rest the Paste 

Let the henna paste sit for a few hours or overnight. This allows the dye to release and the paste to thicken. Cover the paste with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out.

Create the Cone 

Cut a plastic or cellophane sheet into a triangle shape. The size of the triangle will determine the size of your cone. The base of the triangle should be wide enough for you to comfortably hold.

Roll the Cone 

Roll the triangle into a cone shape with the pointy end being the tip of the cone. Make sure the cone is tight and secure.

Secure the Cone 

Use tape to seal the edge of the cone to keep it from unraveling. Make sure the tip is small and pointed, so you can easily control the flow of mehndi.

Fill the Cone 

Fill the cone with the henna paste. Be careful not to overfill it, as you want to leave some space at the top to be able to twist and close the cone.

Twist and Seal 

Once the cone is filled, twist the top to seal it. Use a rubber band to secure the twisted end, which will act as the "lid" of the cone. Trim any excess plastic.

Test Your Cone 

Before using the cone on your skin, do a small test on a piece of paper to check the flow and consistency of the henna paste. Adjust the cone's tip if needed.

Now, your homemade mehendi cone is ready to use for creating beautiful henna designs on your skin. Make sure to practice your mehndi art to get the hang of using the cone effectively.

How To Draw Mehndi Designs

To Draw beautyfull Mehndi Designs follow these general steps

1. Prepare Your Materials: Gather the materials you'll need, which typically include henna paste, a henna cone or applicator, and any optional design templates or stencils.

2. Clean and Dry the Skin: Make sure the area where you want to apply the mehndi is clean and dry. This helps the henna adhere better.

3. Create a Design: Plan your design beforehand. You can sketch it on paper or use design templates as a guide.

4. Apply the Mehndi: If you're using a henna cone, hold it like a pen or pencil and start applying the mehndi along the lines of your design. Be patient and go slowly. If you're a beginner, you may want to start with simple designs like flowers or basic patterns.

5. Let it Dry: Allow the mehendi to dry naturally. This might take a couple of hours. Do not touch the design while it's drying to avoid smudging.

6. Seal the Mehndi: After the mehndi has dried, you can use a mixture of lemon juice and sugar to seal it. Apply this mixture with a cotton ball to the dried mehndi. This helps the color develop and stay longer.

7. Wait and Scrape Off: Leave the henna paste on for several hours, preferably overnight, before gently scraping it off. You can use a butter knife or a similar blunt tool to remove the dried henna, and avoid washing the area for at least 12 hours.

8. Enjoy Your Mehendi Design: Once you've removed the dried henna paste, you'll be left with a beautiful mehndi design that will gradually darken over the next 24-48 hours.

Remember that mehndi art requires practice to perfect.Don't be discouraged if your first few attempts don't turn out exactly as you'd like. With time and practice, your mehndi designs will improve.
