Majestic Eid Diamond Lattice Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A radiant eid mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring bell garland and checkered fill. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

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 suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

On Chaand Raat, women and girls gather at home or visit market stalls where artists apply quick designs late into the night. Because many people get their mehndi done in one evening, Eid designs are usually quicker and lighter than bridal ones.

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.
