Gorgeous Eid Feather Stroke Mehndi Design for Full Hand

An elegant eid mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring swirl and floral vine. Rated as Hard, this pattern is perfect for everyday.

Full-hand designs run from the fingertips to the wrist, so allow extra time for application. Work from the wrist towards the fingers, or the other way round, so you never rest on wet paste. This pattern needs steady pressure control and fine line work, so it is best attempted after practising simpler designs.

In South Asia, mehndi is traditionally applied on Chaand Raat, the night before Eid, when the new moon is sighted. Mehndi is worn for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as part of dressing up for the celebration.

Application tips: Keeping the skin warm while the paste is on helps the colour develop. Apply Eid mehndi the evening before so the stain has time to darken by morning.
