Striking Eid Ribbon Weave Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A gorgeous eid mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring crescent motif and peacock motif. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a party.

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: Dab a lemon and sugar mixture on the dried paste to keep it moist and stuck to the skin. Scrape the dried paste off instead of washing it, and keep the area away from water for the first 12 to 24 hours.
