Dainty Arabic Checkered Fill Mehndi Design for Arm

A stunning arabic mehndi design tailored for the arm, featuring butterfly wing and spiral rosette. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

Henna on the forearm stains lighter than on the palm because the skin is thinner. Arm designs are easier to apply on someone else than on yourself, especially past the wrist. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Arabic mehndi originated in the Arabian Peninsula and spread through trade routes to North Africa and South Asia. In Gulf culture, henna is applied at the 'Laylat al-Henna' (Henna Night) before weddings.

Application tips: Leave the paste on for at least four to six hours; the longer it stays, the deeper the stain. Dab a lemon and sugar mixture on the dried paste to keep it moist and stuck to the skin.
